The ‘design decisions’ that enabled a Los Angeles house miraculously escape the horrific flames have been described by the architect.
At least six fires are burning in the LA area, according to local officials, with the most recent one, the Archer fire, out of control after it began on Friday, January 10.
The disastrous flames are estimated to have burned over 10,000 houses and other buildings, and at least 11 people have died as a consequence.
There have been reports of homes surviving a fire even when the surrounding properties were completely destroyed. Such news has produced amazing, but terrifying, images.
A specific picture that shows a home that is still intact while all the surrounding houses have been completely destroyed by fire is doing the rounds on social media.
