People in Malibu live in burned out neighbourhoods all the time, then they re-build them within a few years (or more since California has crazy rules).

Everybody else had insurance pay for AirBnBs away from toxic fire destroyed zones.
You guys aren’t making sense. I think you’re both trolling.
I'm not saying you have to live there with no water, but saving your home is high on lots of people's list.
Some percantage of people also stay even when an evacuation order has been given, to save their home. Some of those die, of course.
Emergency officials and police are urging British Columbia residents to respect evacuation orders ahead of fast−moving wildfires, but some First Nations are standing their ground, successfully protecting their homes and property.
The chief of the Tl’etinqox First Nation said RCMP officers told them to leave or risk having their children taken away. Instead they erected a fire boundary and prepared to fight.
"We are generation after generation that continue to live in a fire zone. This is not new to us," said Chief Joe Alphonse, whose community is about 100 kilometres west of Williams Lake. "We feel this is the safest place for our community members to be."
There are about 1,000 residents on the reserve, but Alphonse said only about 300 stayed to fight the fires.

Ultimately, Alphonse said staying was the right decision and it saved at least 10 homes.
The chief of the Bonaparte Indian Band north of Ashcroft said they also defied an evacuation order over the weekend and successfully stopped flames from overrunning their reserve.
"My community has some really skilled firefighters, like a lot of First Nations reserves, and they came together and they stopped that wildfire from wiping out that whole community," Chief Ryan Day said.
He said 60 of the band’s 280 members stayed to fight the fire.

Australia does a good job. Nobody there has asphalt or wood roofs.

Somehow this conversation has veered into the COVID debate.
Letting fires near our communities burn themselves out is madness. Staying back when an evacuation order has been issued is suicidal.
I don’t understand where this expertise is coming from that Max is pushing, but I caution anyone who feels like there’s merit to these suggestions to speak with experts and seek their guidance.
Fire is the scariest thing I can think of that could actually put me and my family in danger. I’m bewildered by this conservation treating it like it’s a controllable, predictable and insignificant issue.

...If we leave it up to the media and government, they will scare us into submission...
But submission IS the goal.

It was smokey at our house this morning, but the wind picked up and it disappeared. The AQI was always good.

I just went on a Chicago architectural boat cruise so I know about these things.
My wife went on one of those today, quite enjoyed it.
