Since this is the topic of the day can you elaborate?

I’ve only study structure fire resistance as a home owner in a fire prone area. City run local group disaster prep as well as small out building construction ( garages and sheds , not residential structures or commercial ones)

controlled burns weren’t possible for the last year because of severe drought.

Most homes in la are built with ibc compliance. There are sticklers about it especially with new construction. They still allow class V buildings but ordnances usually require a non-combustion coating, such as harde cement board or stucco . I am not sure if all places require type V building to be class A in my experience that has been the case

Much of the homes burned like Alta Dena and the palisades were on the urban/wild interface. So basically back yards were forests bordering to the Santa Monica mountains.

What are the most effective fuel mitigation efforts that can be done in cases like LA where a literal forest runs though the center of the city?

What about on a more local level ?

Is it literally thousands of people raking the forests?
