"Defensible space" is good, surviveable space is better.

Some good points in this video. When the shurbs and trees dont burn, only the houses burn, then you cant blame nature. The blame is on this: when you create a "defensible" space you still need the defenders. With the way the government is incompetent, with evacuation orders, and with cuts to power and water availability... there won't be any defenders. Why create a defensible space to then not defend it? Whats really needed is a surviveable space. Which means these houses would survive even with nobody defending them. Anybody can look at this picture and realize that nature isnt to blame for these fires. The landscaping looks green, and the trees clearly were not the source of the heat. Defensible spaces is great, but this is no longer a "blame nature" sort of problem.
Its the start of winter! How can excess heat from nature be a causative a factor in these fires. Dryness maybe... but heat, no. And every house is going to be fundamentally mostly dry. So, I guess this could happen anywhere. Well, watch the video, its better than anything I have to say.
