Houses in Great Britain are built from brick with a tiled roof. It amazes me that people in the USA and Australia who live in areas where they get terrible wildfires live in wooden houses with wooden shingles on the roof! Brick built houses with a tiled roof aren't going to catch fire because of some drifting sparks!
@@SasquatchWithStyle I understand it may be the case in parts of California but they don't get earthquakes in Australia. Also which is more common? Earthquakes or wildfires?
In the 1980's I was a teenager when there was a huge fire in Vacaville, the next town up from my hometown. My dad owned a 1/4 interest in a Cessna 177 and some guy from the state or maybe forest service hired my dad to take him on an aerial survey of the damage. I got to ride in the back seat. I remember there were several homes surrounded by red squares that were untouched by fire. Others that had no red square were gone. I asked the forest service guy later why did some of the houses have red squares (fire retardant) and others did not. Some of the property owners had cleared the brush away from their house, other did not. They didn't have the resources to protect every house, so they chose to concentrate on those homes that they had the best chance of saving. That made a HUGE impact on me.
@@showwhite7320God is omnipotent & omnipresent. Not a bearded man & not a man at all. A spirit connected to each & every living thing on a fundamental level. People don’t experience God in their life because they pray to him when they need help, & not everyday to express gratitude when things are good. God is like a friend, if you prove that you believe in him and work to help other people + strangers in your life, random events happen that tip the balance in your favor where before - only bad or neutral events would happen. I used to be an atheist for many years until life backed me into a corner I didn’t think I could get out of. That’s when I started praying. Two years later I’m lined up with a new career & the girl I’ve loved since childhood is coming around against all odds, 30 years later. God is like a friend, you can’t just call your friend when you need help. Have to prove that you’re there for them whenever you can.. that’s how magic happens & synchronicities occur with such frequency to the extent that one can no longer deny the existence of them on a personal level. You can’t just pray , you have to be a good person. That’s when the magic happens. But it doesn’t happen overnight. Have to prove yourself to God before he proves himself to you. Believe or don’t. That’s none of my business. I can’t convince you of the existence of God like you can’t convince me that he doesn’t exist . (atheist for 25 years). My life did a compete 180. Went from being a person that was suicidal & everyone looked down on, to someone worthy of respect with a good life lined up. Pray, do Gods work (helping others) & be willing to put in work on yourself. Random coincidence start to happen so frequently that you can’t deny it after a certain point. God is real, but have to prove yourselves to him first. (Believe. Or don’t.) it’s your life. I used to think just like you, so I know how fruitless it is to convince you otherwise. come to your own conclusions. Believe me (or don’t.) Take care & God Bless. 😊
They need to change building codes that make houses fireproof and houses down south hurricane proof. Waste of money having to rebuild every time your house is destroyed.
1. If he! Be with you! Who? Can be against you. 2. Greater is he! In me then in the world! 3. With GOD! No weapon formed against me! Shell prosper. 4. GOD said! Touch not! My anointed.
This isn't surprising, it's entirely predictable and based on science. Clearing excess vegetation and debris from the home ignition zone and building with non flammable materials can make all the difference, and clearly did in this case, whether or not the homeowners did it intentionally or not.
That's why I came here too. Saw it in Bored Panda. Obviously, the story is slightly different. Same house. No mention of sprinklers. Just shows us how easily stories can be changed on the internet and that seeing/reading should not automatically mean believing.
In my 33 years of existence, I never encounter a forest fire in my country, the Philippines that could turn properties into ashes.. yes there still some forest fire but they don't progress much as what I see in videos in RUclips..
"God is good" meaning they believe in God, God is the one destroying everything as a sign of what is to come. Repent people, turn to Jesus and declare your life to God. Give up your sinful ways and you will be saved. Seek help from "the last reformation". Your last chance to repent is nearly here. God Bless all who can hear this warning.

Great Britain sucks
Cause its cheap.
Very cheap
Where we live, most of us live in wooden houses because they can withstand earthquakes.

My grandma prayed for these house onwners
Praying to an invisible, bearded man in the clouds?
@@showwhite7320Hey, how do you know he has a beard?

make all houses in fire zones concrete and metal.
I've heard of eating the rich, but this guy brings the brick oven.
@@everennui1 If you build it tall enough I think it will be a good insulator.

"Tracked down the owners" Yes, because the last place they'd be is their own home...
GOD LOVE YOU and your house Mam Sir god bless
God is good indeed! "Im not makign fun, im saying it for real".
God IS good, and Love...Even when bad things happen to those who love Him. That does not change the fact that He is good.
Say that to lives lost in Maui fires
God is good
"i wish i could give them a tip" you dont have to wish, you can donate funds to the department?

Thanks..for sharing!
This comment is ancient historical RUclips artifact
This is what a house that's covered in His precious blood looks like❤ Jesus is King
you can put sprinkler defense outside your vicinity maybe 6 with large water tank.
This happened almost 9 years ago. their house survived the wild fire but they are probably dead because of covid.
Only if they got the jab ya twat.
@@dolphincliffs8864 I got 4 jabs so far and I am still alive, you overreacting trump supporter beech!!
@@masoudkh5104 I am 52 ,can you curl 65 pounds on one arm?
Doubt it heart attack clot bitch.
metal roofing company stocks are about to rise
God bless 🙏🏾 ❤
I thought this was the guy that left his water sprinklers on and survived
That's why I came here too. Saw it in Bored Panda. Obviously, the story is slightly different. Same house. No mention of sprinklers. Just shows us how easily stories can be changed on the internet and that seeing/reading should not automatically mean believing.
@@maidy3 true that even i saw it on the panda website
Guy wishes he could give a cash tip.
I bet a couple of pizza parties for the boys would be a nice gesture.
Ya... sure... god saved that one house but let burned countless others... oh I get it... the others worshiped a different god...
Sprinklers max output full capacity
This is what tipping is really about.
Metal roof is good not religion!!
Pure luck
Pure God.
All I can say is act of God
YAH is good!!!
Is it Oprah's house?
Hahaha, i know right.

Probably cause it's a tropical country.
