The church was reported to not be damaged. A lot of people were assuming that would have been the starting point for the fire.

That hurt to watch. There is so much pain and sadness that has come from this. The level of destruction is devastating.

I really hope it's a wake up call for wildfire prone communities. This could be them in the next few weeks. Lytton barely had 20 minutes of notice of evacuation.

If I was living in one of them, it'd sure keep me up at night.

Whole new construction code for high heat areas?
Concrete or brick, of certain thickness (I suggest 8 in minimum) . Metal heat shield for windows (like hurricane shutters). Manditory sprinkler/demister system for roof and building sides. Fire proof insulation like roxul. Steel studs. Metal roofs. Cement siding boards.
And for the tin hat guys -aluminum wrap for the house.
