  • Brick chimneys are all that remain in LA houses. Seems like a good reason for building the whole house out of brick. But plywood is the norm. Is that the best idea when you live somewhere with a "fire season" and insurance is tricky? It costs a few bob extra but lots of the houses which have just burned down were worth $2 or $3 million.

  • Pretty sure brick buildings would still be gutted in the circumstances. You'd just be left with some structurally unsound walls.
