I was watching the video on CNN this morning. The Santa Ana winds are the problem more than anything else, except for arsonists that start the wild fires.
There was a clip that talked about fire retardant foam that would protect your home for about 15 minutes. What was more interesting was a fire retardant gel that would protect your home for 3-4 hours. Cost was about $300 for the typical home. The manufacturer was not named or maybe I missed it. Hope that quells some of your paranoia. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > Of Kristyne McDaniel > Sent: Monday, October 22, 2007 4:34 AM > To: 'ProFox Email List' > Subject: [OT] California Wildfires - Again > > Today I've seen horrific news of wildfires all around the Southern > California area where I live, and a few hours ago 60 Minutes aired a > segment > about the dramatic increase in fires.
