The Eaton polygons and the CALFIRE DINS data. In both you had so few CA Bldg Code Ch7A built homes, it made no difference and wasnt close to any "herd immunity" level.

Eaton though was more bi-modal, and not an exponential as you might expect... even more dense and older single-family construction with less building elements that would have been considered more fire resistant.

It certainly has its complexities. We looked at Palisades under our neighborhood framework. In an "unmitigated" environment you get this. Can we use more separation + hardening elements as a buffer to allow more dense construction elsewhere? I think we can.

Yup... and read it for the second time @radiofreetom.bsky.social

Finished up with 4.2 storm total snow, bringing our season total here 1 E of Gaithersburg to an even 15 inches. Still short of the average for us. #snomg #mdwx #dmvwx

and what a piece of the structure to structure fire spread can look like in high wind conditions.
