Sure, and just lastly, Dr. Hanson, you were mentioning there about the types of structure
00:04
that are there making them more fire resistant.
00:07
One of the pieces I read has suggested that because of the fact that you're in an earthquake
00:11
zone there in parts of California, buildings have to have a certain amount of flexibility
00:17
and that does therefore make them a little bit more fire risk, more flammable.
00:25
Is that true in your opinion?
00:26
No, I've seen no evidence of that.
00:28
You can take steps that are very effective to make a wood structure much more fire resistant.
00:37
It's even better if the structure is not made of wood, made of materials that don't burn,
00:41
but you can make the steel structures or masonry.
00:47
There's all kinds of building materials that can be employed.
00:52
But the main thing is that there are certain key things that need to be done to make sure
00:57
that homes don't burn, regardless of what they're made of.
