I survived that human/corporate-caused disaster. The lie that Paradise is somehow being "reborn" is insulting, especially to the people who lost their lives. Many thousands of the destroyed homes were affordable rental housing, and essentially none of that is being rebuilt. Out of around 18,000 people whose homes burned down, only 4,000 or so have returned over 6 years later. It is gradually becoming just one more exclusive community in the Sierra foothills, and it will burn down yet again at some point.
That was my thought too. I saw a hardware store survived the the current fires and I thought the same thing, they'll probably be one of the main source for building materials.

Blessed their hearts,resilience is a gift not many understand these days ,when everything is disposable and moving away is easier then fighting to stay home ! So happy they are rebuilding !
The tragedy of Paradise - and any town destroyed by wildfire - is not the people who rebuild. Oh sure, they lost everything. That's a tragedy. Only the lucky ones get to rebuild. It's the people who were uninsured - owners of uninsured houses, mobile homes in trailer parks, renters.... Those folks had no place to go. With Katrina we saw the renters scatter to the 4 winds, changing the politics of New Orleans and Louisiana. With the Paradise fire it was the same with those who had nothing to return to. They scattered across the country, never to return. Something more was lost than peoples' homes and lifetime possessions. Wildfire is a story with no good ending. The same can be said for any town -- Paradise, Lahaina, towns in Oregon, and the LA fires of 2024/2025.
And yet the greed-driven capitalist media keeps producing this nonsense content about the "rebirth" of these places, which are nothing but vicious lies. I retired to Paradise in 2012, and obviously survived the fire. I spent 5 years in Tucson, and now I'm in San Diego County, watching wildfires burn all around me. You are absolutely correct . . . wildfire IS a story with no good ending. At best it is a story about coping with the consequences.
Having lived through the Paradise fire I can tell you that the fire vaporized steel and concrete. It also burned tree roots up to four feet below the ground. If you are in the wrong place when the fire hits nothing will save a building.
Quonset hut style buildings are a great option as are monolithic domes. Using fire resistant materials is critical. The rounded structures present much less wind loading for wind storms and minimize the possibility of embers getting caught. The round structures are extremely strong and earthquake resistant. Using metal studs/roof/walls and/or concrete makes it termite proof, fire and mold resistant, etc.. The monolithic dome with round walls and round roof have been popularized by the South Corp out of TX and use a one piece concrete shell. One built in the FL panhandle was one of the few buildings left standing after a hurricane decimated the area. It had essentially no damage. A rounded structure is inherently stronger and more durable than rectangular wooden boxes.
We used to have lots of these, left over from the war, here in Northern California. People bought them and lived in them. It's a great idea to bring them back.
The story of the last group of folks that laid in a parking lot covered by wet blankets while the fire raged over and around them still haunts me😢 I have been through many fires😢
I’m a big fan of Quonset hut homes. They can look great, they go up fast, and they’re inexpensive. There are a few up here in Anchorage. In fire prone areas, we really should be going below ground. There are so many benefits to it.
Building a fireproof home is simple. Pumicecrete is by far the best building material on the planet Pumicecrete is fireproof termite proof rust rot and mold proof non toxic and has a high R value and good sound attenuation solid poured walls means no critters can live in your walls Pumicecrete can be built for a fraction of the cost and time Take care Ray
I understand that there are some issues with the company selling the fireproof material. It is a bit unscrupulous. The church that was being rebuilt is falling apart. The church has been trying to sue the company. CBS did not check with the interverees prior to the re-airing of this segment.
It’s astonishing how nobody seems to realize that you can build a steel and concrete house that still looks exactly like a normal house. You don’t have to build a quonset hut. I have a good friend who did exactly that - built a steel-framed house with steel and concrete walls, steel doors, steel roof with concrete tiles over it.. whole house is painted just like a normal house. From 100 feet away it looks like a normal house with stucco. Even up close it’s not immediately obvious, until you start opening doors and windows. Incredibly earthquake resistant, terrifically fire resistant, unbelievably strong to deal with hurricane winds (not that he’ll see those where he’s at), and it will last FOREVER. Yes, it did cost more to build than the average house, but it’s a lifelong investment on a piece of property that will continuously appreciate in value, so the extra couple hundred grand it cost to build will mean nothing down the road. But he has the ultimate in safety and security that will outlive generation after generation in his family.
Exactly. Europeans are fascinated by the materials Americans use to build houses. Gypsum panels and wood framing are not the norm over here. They think homebuilders are either crazy, crooked or incompetent.
Some people aren't concerned with having a house that looks just like a "normal" house, obviously. What is normal, anyway? It's different depending on where you go. Get over yourself.
After World War II, the University of North Dakota used left over Quonset huts to make a married student housing village. Everyone who lived there was a veteran of WWII, as well. Those huts were in use well into the 1950's. And of course, using the huts helped with the housing shortage on campus, as well.
Idk what shes talking about, I live downhill in Chico, most people left that town, its an insurance nightmare because it has always been a prime spot for wildfires due to its location, was only a matter of time. The guy with the new ‘fireproof’ house is quite hilarious since he has plenty of combustibles just outside of his home, as long as you have heat, it will burn or melt.
Comments like this are incredibly ignorant. The United States was the steel capital of the world just a handful of decades ago. We intentionally sold out our manufacturing superiority to second and third world countries, giving them power over us that we should never have given them in the first place. It’s time we take it back.
Homes in Florida need to be made to withstand a hurricane. Homes in CA where there are so many fires will all need to be different materials. For those wealthy enough in CA to reno a house, they should have made changes sooner. The unfortunate case is those who didn't have money for home improvement OR if they were already dropped by insurance. However I do wounder if more people had at least change their roof materials how much less would have burned.
Exactly what I was thinking. I'd add that straw bale construction is not particularly vulnerable to fire, even though it might seem that it would be. It is also self-insulating. If I were building my house now, I'd definitely look at straw bale construction, possibly combined with some rammed earth or adobe.
I used to live in Orange County and they made homes out of stucco and clay tile roofs which are fire resistant. Why don't they just use those in LA county?
Aesthetics needs to come in second to durability. Beauty is important, but not at the cost of possible total destruction, and trauma. BUILD SMARTER, always keeping the future in mind.
I admire their efforts to rebuild and the new buildings look fabulous. My main concern is the city allowing too many folk's back into the area. The streets need to be wider to accommodate fire trucks, ambulances etc. Water tower's need to be built strong enough to hold thousands of gallons and also be fire resistant. Electricity needs a huge upgrade to make sure a home or business isn't using too much to overwhelm the circuits. Hopefully with major changes to the electrical grid and wire's protected the homeowners will have more leeway to use more if needed. The city should ban all lawn's and put in artificial grass instead. The new technology of fake lawn's has changed and they look quite nice and even feel good. Tree's that are replanted in the area need to be fire resistant and hopefully the city can have the power lines put underground. Fire look outs can be manned by the town folk's and they can sound the alarm if needed. One last thing which I know almost nothing about and that's the very dangerous San Anna Winds. Can homes be built in a certain way so that the winds can't consume so when the fires start ? Another way to put the question is: when massive rain storms occur the mud rushes down the hills burying homes with mud, etc. The city developer's come up with a design to reinforce hillsides and then try and not build anything underneath a hill or mountain ( they don't always follow their own advice). Can developers put new homes in a safer area where the winds can't blow around as strong ? I hope my question isn't too strange to ask 😊
Good to see you, Ben! Great segment. There was a house in LA that survived with a similar concept, but all-concrete, and they attributed having no entry points for embers (no overhangs from the roof and no vents) as one of the reasons. Given that the doomsday clock is ticking down, and the new administration doing whatever they can to strip the US of protections, we're likely headed down a terrible path.
it's surrounded by cement that's why it survived and I did believe it has stucco or brick or rock exterior. Probably the metal roof. It's not a somehow it is in the build
Some building materials that are flame resistant also are Hardie cement siding, metal roofs, wool insulation (great for floor insulation too) and Hempcrete (Colorado made now). Do stop burning wood for "fun" so no fireplaces, bonfires, woodstoves etc please The atmosphere doesn't need more wood smoke pollution.

There are many historic Spanish and Mexican era adobe buildings that are still standing after centuries of earthquakes, so they can be quite sturdy in short. @Netcentric-fk6ek
I really hope they bury power lines and master plan developments better while they have the chance. Not just build military Q huts as the solution. It needs to be a multi-layered solution for these people so they can be protected and informed when making crucial design decision. Not just a Q hut resale guy.. looking forward to seeing how they map this out.
This is a foolish choice! They can build concrete homes which can be beautiful AND very fire resistant like they do in many parts of the world! I grew up in a double block, reinforce concrete house that was beautiful, fire proof, and strong. This is dumb!
Building with fireproof materials, and roofing is (obviously) a smart idea……..But Pacific Palisades was a GORGEOUS little town, full of aesthetically beautiful, DIFFERENTLY styled (no tract homes) architecture…..not a blue collar, “rural” town like Paradise. The little town of Pacific Palisades had Spanish, and Italian aesthetics, gorgeous details, and NO WALMART, or other big box retailers, or much (if any!) fast food!!……..the people who lived there would NEVER build a half-metal “barn”!! 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️. Hopefully the Palisades will recreate their CHARMING MEDITERRANEAN ARCHITECTURE with fireproof materials!!!
I totally agree. That metal shed was ugly. Rick Caruso's Village was built with non combustable material and was aesthetically beautiful. Hopefully the people will rebuild with his influence. He also had his fire trucks with water to put out fire unlike the city. I hope the Palisades is rebuilt as pretty as it was.
@ …….Hopefully Pacific Palisades city will work with Rick Caruso to REDEVELOP their entire downtown along Sunset Blvd, and side streets! I’ve heard the Palisades has some of the strictest design codes (which is GOOD!……no ugly barns!!) so hopefully the downtown will come back better than ever!! 👍👌
The fake dreds look ridiculous!!! And I’d love to live there but no way do I make enough to live in California and I make $77 a year but it’s only me. And that amount barley gets you a house in Wisconsin!!! 😞 But I happy Paradise is coming back but so much history lost. People don’t usually tell history without seeing it. So sad what happened there and very scary !!!!! But what tuff people !
Still praying for thr fires in California, Los Angeles, etc. to end, rain to arrive in Los Angeles, more firefighters to in Los Angeles to put out the fires, etc. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Rebuilding. Pfft. What you just witnessed was a massive transfer of wealth by the slimiest people in the country. You'll see. Watch how many lose their land after losing their home to the "accidental fire".
It’s going to be hilarious seeing people like Tom Hanks whining about unsightly rebuild homes or shanties, near his 40 million dollar compound that survived.
one of the biggest problems is Sierra club type thinking where they won't let people clear the forest floor well-meaning City people who have no forestry experience come up with the policies along with the bureaucrats that have destroyed California
@Plutogalaxy you know when I was a kid the greatest generation managed the forest common Sense measures like cutting fire roads clearing lumber sending water to Southern California I don't know just call me crazy
@ the idea is to get rid of cars, force everyone into apartments, . Just they are charging New Yorkers to drive their cars every day I New York. I did not mean for Paradise. I was referring to the Palisades fire

I'm glad they are able to rebuild and do it in a smarter way that wont cost them any more than a regular wood frame house.
We have 2 hardware stores now‼️ lots of work being done, it’s inconvenient at times, but we r happy to see ppl working & getting back to normal.
Thats so super. Fire resistent building may need to be the way of the future.
Or go where the fire risk is very low. You CAN get a mortgage and insurance there.

Most are not going back. Can't get insurance. Different problems now. We loved it but don't feel safe now

Stucco siding and clay tile roofs are already popular in SoCal so I can see them using those materials a lot.

This. There is a lot of the same hopium in LA...if insurance goes, the market collapses. Look at Katrina.
Can handle wind and Snow well.. rebuild better stronger.
Where do we source our metal from? Tariffs will make this kind of construction much more expensive. America is now officially eating their young.

You can always build with ICF as well- would probably do just as well in case of fire.

But is it earthquake resistant for Los Angeles?
Excellent question
Building codes have seismic requirements depending on area. Buildings can be built to shake a little.
Yes these metal Quonset type structures hold up much better than conventional stick-framed structures to both earthquakes and to high winds.

What about the air intake? Can embers get in?
All exterior openings are covered with a fine stainless steel mesh.
Ideally steel shutters are included, to cover the windows during a fire event .
My opinion on XAI308K it will reach double digits heights may take time but the hand writing is on the wall
