Time for them to start using bricks and blocks with cement and iron rod reinforcement. What a lesson.

When other fires happened within last 6 years, this was proposed to the government of California. But for some reason it never went through, statefarm one of the largest insurance brokers literally provides cover for these high probe wildfire California areas. For some reason never ed the new housing plan.

Moving forward what people don't know about California is that it's the driest part of USA outside Arizona and vegas. Have you ever heard about the California dessert?

Majority of those celebrities houses that where destroyed along some wealth people embedded their houses into forest areas.

These Forest areas are sooo dry that during Arnaldo regime they wanted to reduce half the forest. But the same rich people fought against it and they left it (so technically that forest areas where artificial in the sense that they ought to have been removed)

Prior to this fire California haven't had rain for 9 months straight. And they have what they call devils wind, it's a wind that blows around this period every year. So everything was just the right recipe for disaster.

What people don't know, 3 fire engines are needed to quench fire from a house. Now imagine 15,000 homes and multiply it by 3. That's the required amount of engines needed to fight the fires.

So it was earthly impossible, thus the reason you saw Mexico sending in help because Mexico is closer by proximity than Texas. Because this fire drew lots of resources from close states like Nevada, Washington and Arizona.

When you tell man to fear his creator he wouldn't listen

Everything isn't about weapons and soldiers

The same fire element you were promoting by producing deadly weapons that produces fire at a blast

The high and mighty and now homeless

Neighbors are now family

You can't bomb oh shoot everything with carnal weapon

The case of los angeles in california should serve as a reference point to what will happen to the world when it will be destroyed by fire

There advancement made them limit the destruction minimally and death toll is still equally minimal..... That place would be rebuilt and measures would be out in place to mitigate it in future.

in few months time, you will never recognize this place again; you will never believe it was razed down by fire, but Nigeria with no natural disaster and enormous crude oil reserve is still looking like a war torn country after decades of independence and still struggling to pave ordinary road even in Lagos state the commercial center of Nigeria and you wonder why White folks don't regard blacks angry

Strong winds actually carry fire debris across open spaces, and with everything built almost entirely from wood, it doesn't get difficult for a spark to be reignited here or there.

Comparing the US with any country is the dumbest thing anyone can do. The US has an advantage that no other country has in the world - the dollars. They will print this dollars and rebuild and high demand will cover for inflation. And nigeria is not stealing resources from any other countries - other countries are stealing from is including the US

But this is not going to last forever.

No matter how sane a clime is, when natural disaster strikes...they will feel it. No need using that as a measure of their preparedness against disaster. The point is the way third world countries deal with this cannot be compared to them.
In 15 years time...This same place will be developed even better than it previously was. That's the difference.

You'd think since 1666 they'd have figured out how to abolished possibility of a fire like this!

Dwayne Johnson should get ready for another leading role of a Hollywood blockbuster about these fires just like he did in Rampage and Battle Los Angeles.
This time, they should pair him with my man Kevin Hart. They make great art together.

Yes but they proposed a hybrid system whereby areas not within the fault zone can have bricks creating a natural defense barrier. The insurance people are wicked in my opinion because they could easily such plan, since they have a major say in the construction industry.

Those Forest areas you see are soo dry that they adapted to the area. During Arnold time they proposed trimming the forest to certain parameter to prevent this. But the rich people because they embedded their houses with the Forest areas fought it.

Technically there was foresight back then but the rich were too myopic and didn't want their heaven disturbed. Now see the consequences, the insurance people must be probed because they certain buildings that are fireproof they tag with very high .

Los Angeles Fires Leave Homes in Ruins

A series of wildfires broke out in different parts of Los Angeles County last week. Among the most devastating were the Eaton Fire, near Pasadena, and the Palisades Fire in the coastal area of Pacific Palisades.

Firefighters have been working tirelessly to contain these fires, which have claimed at least 24 lives and caused widespread destruction across the region. As of now, strong winds and difficult weather conditions are expected to continue on Tuesday and Wednesday, making firefighting efforts even more challenging.

Over 100,000 people have been forced to evacuate their homes due to the fires, which started on January 7 during a severe windstorm. Weather experts had warned that it could be the worst windstorm in over a decade for the area.

These two fires are now ranked among the top five most destructive wildfires in California’s history, based on records kept by the state’s Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

Looks like Gaza. Smh.
This life ehn! God is truly a God of Justice!


This is the same US blatantly giving Isreal bombs to destroy Gaza that is now being ravaged by a vicious unprecedented fire razing down an area that's 3 times bigger than Gaza right under same Biden who gave bombs to Netanyahu to blow up, destroy Gaza and commit genocide in Gaza while arrogantly defending his decision to release bombs to destroy Gaza.

This is the legacy of Biden incurring the wrath of God upon US even after being disgraced out of the race his party eventually lost. Biden is leaving office worse off.

The population of Gaza is about 6 million. 6 million Americans are now at the mercy of a raging fire consuming their lives and properties. The US should take the advice in 2 Chronicles 7:14 because God is still a merciful God.

Below are the pictures of Gaza after American bombs were used by Israel to destroy Gaza.

A high percentage of rats perished in the great London fire, thereby ending the centuries-old problem of bubonic plagues caused by rats. Another good to come out of te fires.

They should also feel the heat . No one is above God .

If God want to suffer you , you cannot escape it ; that is why you should always remain humble .

The servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them, they say words of peace. Quran 25:63

When pride comes, then comes shame; but with the humble is wisdom.” Proverbs 11:2.

So na God go carry fire burn innocent people home ?

The way this religion of a thing makes you people to think ehh, atimes one can't help but agree with atheists on some certain things. You religious people are something else.

I reject you and that kind of your God.

A simple common sense did not tell you that the main cause of that fire is climate change.
