Wam-Blocky @cogitans2.bsky.social · 14/01/2025We have many products, eg 'lineaboard that look like wood but is actually compressed concrete - non flammable (I built my home out of it) and were in a high fire risk area. When the situation has calmed down it will be time to consider your building codes. 000

Wam-Blocky @cogitans2.bsky.social · 13/01/2025I am saddened and shocked at the devastation of the state, sincerely hope for no more fatalities. I believe Australia is mobilising crews for our Rural Brigades to assist. Many of our local members have already indicated their availability for this situation, as we did for the Canadian fires. 2171
Wam-Blocky @cogitans2.bsky.social · 13/01/2025Living in Australia I find it amazing that in a high fire risk area like LA that hazard reduction burns are not a regular event. I also find it strange that even very expensive properties are built of wood. 7153
