California wildfires

this really sucks for everyone that loses their homes and property or even for the folks that have to evacuate and have to wonder about their homes.

In Florida, they have created lots of regs around making homes more hurricane/windstorm proof. I think Cali and the west coast has some regs for earthquake resistance. I've never heard of anything for the folks that live in the areas that are prone to wildfires having anything. I think if I lived in an area like that, I might try to take steps. I understand that it's difficult because a wild fire is not the same as a firepit in your back yard. We aren't talking about a spark or two. Still, maybe a metal roof, less flammable stuff on the outside, area cleared around the house, etc.... Is there stuff that folks do that we just don't hear about because we aren't local?

Good luck to anyone that is impacted or potentially impacted.
