re <<wildfires>>

we are experiencing a fire, which is neither usual nor unusual, just happens every so often and put out generally quick when it be still easy. The current burn was put out after 17 hours. It was tiny in scale compared to whatever seems to be happening in LA. I shudder to think about the insurance companies involved, and the 2028 Olympics. The neighbourhoods are destroyed, with schools and markets, which means people cannot rapidly rebuild. Unclear yet about infrastructure - substations, water treatment, telecom towers, etc etc
