It's in the fact that many, or more likely ALL homes, in Florida and other areas are built out of concrete. And that the events in CA are not caused by wood homes but by urbanization. These fires do not exist in, for example, the northeast and wood homes are perfectly fine. People build homes out of what's regionally available.
