EPA home survives wildfire?

[OddBeMe]

I say "epa home". It's called passive principles in home building.

So will you fcks shut up about the fcking stoves and window regs?

LMAO, you are such a parrot. Here are some facts for you from someone who, unlike you, knows what the fuck they are talking about. Passive house design is about energy consumption and efficiency, and has NOTHING to do with why this particular home survived the fire and others didn't.

The entire Pacific Palisades community is a Very High Fire Hazard Severity zone. What this means is that any new home must be designed according to the following standards.

• Class 'a' fire resistant roof covering (non-flammable)
• 1-hour construction (Exterior wall and roof assembly designed to resist 1-hour of direct flame contact)
• Tempered or heat resistant shatterproof glazing (windows and doors)
  Vents designed to resist ember intrusion 1/8 or 1/4" mesh that lets air but no particles in.
• Fire resistant eaves
• A series of other items designed to prevent flames or embers from getting in the home or igniting exterior materials

Again, absolutely nothing to do with the passive home design features this home had, and everything to do with modern advancements in ALL home design STANDARDS.

The vents and eaves are the most important features, because most of the homes that were between 50 and 60 years old and had open underfloor and attic vents that allowed for embers to enter. They also had open exposed wood eaves, which allowed that portion of the roof to catch fire, dooming the house.

Nice try though.

That imaginary fantastic education you thought you got from whatever Marxist indoctrination camp you added apparently didn't include anything about cause and effect. Do you know what a non sequitir is, Odd? Do you know how Marxism is a death cult that kills lots of people?

[purplepoppy]

Dumb question but why are you building wooden houses in fire risk areas?

[NathanDavis]

that house probably survived the fire, for the very same reason mine was not affected by the fires in California...

the wind just didn't flame the flames that far in its direction... lol

[OddBeMe]

But destroyed the house next door only five feet away. Ok

[NathanDavis]

yes... it is called gusts, of wind

[OddBeMe]

And apparently it's surgical! Whatever...

[NathanDavis]

yes, just like tornadoes... they're not magical either

it's just the "chance" of physics

just like I am sure dozens of other regular houses identical to the ones that got burned... survived as well somewhere else

[OddBeMe]

Yeah wildfires are known for their easy going behavior.

[NathanDavis]

the mere reason why they're called wild, yes

[exitseven]

I do not see how having an elaborate ventilation system keeps your house from catching on fire.

[OddBeMe]

Neither do i but here we are.

Houses survive in fires all the time, how it was built doesn't have much to do with it. More likely the wind and lack of nearby trees.

[Surely]

I would guess that a fire truck had something to do with that house still standing. Like the garage behind the burnt one.

[DrPepper12]

Luck of the draw but that house is great!!!

[autonation]

Are you OK.

[Avicenna]

He is, by his own admission, mentally ill- he's NOT OK. He also wants to be a slaveowner and to strip all white Americans of their US citizenship.

[OddBeMe]

@Avicenna not all of them. Just the lay abouts with access to education and think they can live off my taxes rest of their life. Like you.

[Avicenna]

Yeah, Odd, you support me while I sit around and do nothing all day, sure. You also pay the child support for my four kids even though you can’t spell, can barely express yourself, and are totally clueless about the outside world you never venture out to.

In reality, Odd, just from you freaking out about Trump deporting illegals and other comments of yours (including about enslaving people) it’s much more likely that the woman you call your wife is an illegal you threaten to have deported unless she gives you almost all money she earns because you’re unemployable. Oh, and you steal your brother’s disability checks because you think he’s an undeserving white layabout.

Welcome to Odd’s world, the Scion of Segregation and Slavery that he is.

[Avicenna]

One other thing, Odd, I’m descended from people who had their German citizenship illegally due to racial discrimination. Yet here your dumb Nazi ass wants to do the same thing to me due to racial discrimination. Thanks for confirming to everyone once again what you’re all about.
