'Home Hardening'
In May of 2025, we headed to Los Angeles for a week and rode e-bikes around, looking at the recent fire areas and checking out wildfire hazards across the edges of the City with a few of our most-experienced wildland firefighter/fire behavior analysts friends. We were there to try to make sense of the recent fires, and to share lessons we've learned across several careers spent working on large fires in California.
This is the third of our five-part 'Danger in Plain Sight' series.
In this episode, we look at wildfire hazards in the neighborhood around our vacation rental, in Hollywoodland, right below the Hollywood sign, in Los Angeles.
We talk about why it is important to cut back dense brush adjacent to homes, and about the importance of treating landscaping plants as if they were flammable brush.
In the second half of the episode, we do a detailed inspection of the home, and areas directly around it, and share tips with the homeowner on the small things they can do to reduce the likelihood of their place catching on fire during a wildfire event.
This episode features home inspection software from our sponsor, Fire Aside.
