Scientists are conducting controlled burn experiments on test houses to determine what building materials will best protect homes from wildfires. Research in this area has already had an impact on California's fire codes. "Mitigation actions really can reduce the risk to wildfires," explained Murray Morrison, managing director of research... show more

Friedberg: California Created an Insurance Crisis by Artificially Inflating Home Prices david friedberg broke it down on episode 210: -- the frequency of loss is INCREASING for homes in climate-sensitive zones (areas with wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc.) -- this includes parts of los angeles susceptible to wildfires -- in a free market, the cost of insurance would rise with the increased risk of loss -- however, california makes it nearly impossible for home insurance providers to increase rates -- this artificially inflates home prices, due to the massively subsidized insurance costs " They're driving real estate value up because they're not allowing the cost of insurance of that real estate to naturally float." " And so by driving real estate values up, the economy looks good, they make property taxes, income comes in." -- but, major insurance providers like state farm pulled out of certain at-risk areas in the state -- for example, state farm canceled ~1600 policies in pacific palisades last summer -- californians living in at-risk areas are now relying on the state's insurance program (the "fair plan") in record numbers -- according to friedberg, the fair plan has ~$220M of capital with ~$5B of reinsurance -- after this string of wildfires, the program has ~$6B of exposure in the pacific palisades alone, and could have $24B+ in total losses -- so, california's state insurance plan is effectively bankrupt, and will need a bailout " At the end of the day, the bill is going to come due." "And at some point, taxpayers are going to look at the fact that they're paying some percentage of their income to support someone else's home value, and they're going to say 'Enough is enough.'"

Major Insurers Canceled Californians' Fire Insurance Policies Months Before Palisades Wildfires State Farm, one of California's biggest insurers, just months ago canceled hundreds of homeowners' policies Pacific Palisades, an area now being ravaged by devastating wildfires. State Farm, one of California’s largest insurers, canceled 72,000 homeowners' policies statewide in 2024, including 1,600 in Pacific Palisades, citing financial instability due to rising wildfire risks. CEO Denise Hardin defended the move as necessary to avoid "financial failure" despite its impact on policyholders. The decision was part of a broader insurance crisis in California, where private insurers have scaled back coverage in fire-prone areas. As a result, the state’s FAIR Plan, a last-resort insurance provider, has seen its policies more than double since 2020. Southern California is battling three major wildfires—Palisades, Eaton, and Hurst—propelled by nearly 100 mph winds. The Palisades Fire has already scorched 2,900 acres in Pacific Palisades, while the Eaton Fire near Pasadena has burned 1,000 acres, and the Hurst Fire in San Fernando has affected 500 acres. Below is a list of locations where California homeowners had their fire insurance policies canceled in recent months:

Moss Landing Battery Plant Fire: UPDATE Monterey County Sheriff’s Commander Andres Rosas reports about 40% of the building has burned away. This was one of the largest, if not the largest, battery factories in the world. Commander Rosas says, “The best thing for these batteries are for them to burn completely.” For this huge toxic fire to take place in California, at the same time Gavin Newsom is dealing with the Los Angeles wildfires, will certainly get people further questioning Newsom’s competence.

The ceremony ended with a powerful moment from Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, the newly appointed Director of the NIH. He called it “a historic day,” and warned that gain of function research—the kind that makes viruses more contagious or deadly—has always carried a catastrophic risk. “This research does not protect us against pandemics,” he said. “What it does is there's always a danger that in doing this research, it might leak out just by accident, even, and cause a pandemic.” Bhattacharya stressed that the vast majority of scientific research will continue as normal. But this small slice of high-risk experimentation? That’s no longer just up to scientists. “This executive order puts in place a framework to make sure that the public has a say… that in fact, the public can say, no, don’t take this risk.” For the first time, the door is finally closing on one of the most dangerous scientific practices in modern history.

Why Are Trees Left Standing After Wildfires Destroy Homes? 🌲🔥 Many of you have wondered why trees often remain standing after a wildfire, even when nearby houses and structures are destroyed. The answer lies in the difference between wildfires and conflagrations. Wildfire vs. Conflagration In a wildfire, flames often move as a front, consuming vegetation but not always spreading to everything in their path. Conflagrations, on the other hand, occur when one structure catches fire and spreads through flammable connections, like wood fences, igniting house after house. This also occurs more easily due to the intense heat produced by a structure fire coupled with the close proximity of structures. Why Trees Survive: Some trees have natural adaptation to withstand fire. * Thick Bark: Acts as a heat shield, protecting the inner layers. * Natural Shape: Sheds embers and debris, reducing ignition risk. * Moisture Content: Higher moisture content than older building materials slows the spread of fire. While trees may still be singed, they are often less flammable than structures. Why Homes Are More Vulnerable: Houses are built with materials and features that make them prone to ignition: * Combustible Materials: Wood siding and roofing can ignite quickly, especially from nearby fires. * Openings & Vents: Embers can enter and spark fires inside, even from a distance. * Heat Traps: Flat surfaces and air currents can intensify flames once they reach the interior. Removing flammable items within the first five feet (Zone 0) of a home creates a defensible space, helping to break the pathway for wildfire spread and reducing the risk of flames reaching structures. Take action to safeguard your home against wildfire risks! 🌟 Learn how to prepare at

San Bernardino County Fire and CAL FIRE Partner on Front Country Fuel Reduction Project SAN BERNARDINO, CA — The San Bernardino County Fire Protection District, assisted by CAL FIRE, began Phase 1 of the North San Bernardino Front Country Fuel Reduction Project. This proactive wildfire mitigation effort is designed to reduce fire risk and improve protection for communities along the northern edge of the City of San Bernardino. The project will establish a 50-foot-wide fuel break extending approximately one mile from Highway 18 west to Devils Canyon. Crews will be removing vegetation and reducing available fuels that could contribute to wildfire growth and spread. Historically, several significant wildfires have originated in this area and threatened homes and neighborhoods throughout North San Bernardino. The construction of this fuel break will help slow the spread of future wildfires, improve firefighter access, and provide an additional layer of protection for residents and property. Work on the project is expected to take approximately one to two weeks to complete. Residents may see firefighting personnel, equipment, and vegetation removal operations occurring throughout the project area during this time. While this project represents an important investment in wildfire preparedness, San Bernardino County Fire reminds residents that the threat of wildfire exists year-round. There is no better time than now for homeowners to create and maintain defensible space around their homes by removing dead vegetation, clearing combustible materials, and following recommended fire-safe landscaping practices. For more information on defensible space and wildfire preparedness, visit Date: June 22, 2026 Location: San Bernardino, CA Media Contact: Christopher Prater, Public Information Officer, cprater@sbcfire.org/(909) 665-2383

We are preparing for critical fire weather and elevated wildfire risk in Colorado on Monday. Evolving weather forecasts from Sunday for Monday include very high winds, low humidity and dry vegetation. As a public safety measure to prevent wildfires, we are evaluating the potential need to proactively turn off power for customers in Adams, Boulder, Jefferson and eastern Denver counties, starting on Monday, Oct. 20, at around 11 a.m. Temporarily shutting off power – known as a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) – is not a step taken lightly and is only used when other methods are not enough to help prevent wildfires. To learn more about the evolving situation and how to prepare for an outage, visit
