If everyone knows that the area is vulnerable to wildfires, why does everyone build their houses with wood? This is to do with building regulations. The only things left standing are the brick fireplaces and chimneys.
Much of North America is vulnerable to fire, and wood construction is used throughout. As it gets hotter and precipitation continues to change dye to climate change, we are going to see more fires like this! We’ve seen homes burn during drought and windy conditions in Dallas and Bastrop Texas, Boulder Colorado, etc. Given that we are increasing our burning of fossil fuels, we can expect neighborhoods in Missouri and Tennessee and other places burn to the ground. Ann’s there is a lot more we can do to harden our buildings and make defensible spaces. We just have to do this hard work.
yeah - beats me...knowing earthquakes, fires, crazy, maybe wood gives better warning of earthquakes by creaking first, iso collapsing on you like concrete ???? i dun no
@@simonwolfe529 Wood is the among the most earthquake resistant materials available. Masonry and unreinforced concrete can handle half the earthquake rating on average that an equivalent wood, steel, or reinforced concrete building can. Wood can also be designed to be more fire resistant than steel believed it or not, but that requires thick timber frame construction. Instead of building our homes to last like log cabins and Shinto Temples whose thick sturdy timbers have lasted centuries we use baloon frame construction: with the thinnest boards, walls filled with shredded newspaper insulation, and vinyl siding. The wood ain’t the problem bucko it’s the way we stack and split the kindling. Trees all around were left only with charred bark and intact timbers, while we designed the homes to be only bark like with no timber thick boards.
@@freeheeler09 What are you doing at Times Radio? You are actually making sense.... Wood frame houses are cheaper to build and they do have an advantage in earthquakes over brick, etc. Ironically, straw bail houses using adobe or plaster coating survive fires vastly better than wood frame houses. But they would violate the 'building codes' in L.A. probably. Loose straw burns well but compressed straw in bails won't burn. I come over to Times Radio for laughs occasionally .....
🙏🙏🙏 To all those experiencing the hardships and trauma due to the California fires. 🖕🖕🖕 To all those who are politicizing this horrific and unprecedented human tragedy, while the flames are still blazing and the conditions required to conduct a sober & balanced critical assessment of any negligence or malpractice are currently impossible to establish:
Please extend the same level of concern, sympathy and help for those in Gaza, Donbas, Afghanastan, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen................ where our weapons have done this and much much more.
Ukrainians are deploying 150 firefighters to help USA. Thank You President Zelenskyy! All help to USA is welcome, also Mexico and Canada and others have sent much-appreciated help . So many Americans have died and untold suffering. Ukraine is giving a lot from the very little they have. Other countries have offered firefighters but no one needs them as desperately at home as Ukraine. When Ukrainian firefighters save USA families, please pray for their own families back in Ukraine to be also saved by other brave Ukrainians.

@@simonwolfe529 What language is that? Gibberish? Wood frame houses are better in earthquakes and cheaper to build. But they are terrible in fires.

This segment is about California. Jeez 🙄
Oh you’re a russian troll. I see that now comrade. Don’t invade sovereign nations.
@@DarkCriimes No, it's about destruction... and there are a lot of links between these tragedies: use your intelligence...and your humanity.
@ completely different conflicts started for completely different reasons. Don’t pretend to understand under the guise of humanity.
You're right .... but what are you doing at Radio Times? 😂 This is the worst place on the planet for Western war propaganda.

Very confusing at the start of the video to have an unidentified guest answering an unasked question.
Or, title could have been it "resembles fraction of Ukraine..."
Normal people compare it the destruction in GaZa ..... 😃
Surfer dude
Times Radio: "It must have been Putin setting these fires! Only he could do this....." 😂
Joe Flint. Both sides of the aisle? You must be kidding. We all know who the belligerent ignoramus is in all of these cases.
lf lm menshined man by God Markus 13:20 l asked God to give rain 4 USA.

The level of professionalism in this reporting is appallingly low. Platitudes and boiler plate phrases all around.
This is Times Radio ..... what did you expect? 😄
