like There's no such thing as a fire-proof house, but certain design choices

After the big 1989 earthquake, many California building codes changed.  The
homes built since 1992 have features such as narrow eves, crack-stop stucco
externals, concrete shingle with metal lathe interfaces everywhere.  The
home can burn if ignited from within, but is quite unlikely to be ignited by
falling embers.  A neighborhood built after 1992 is highly unlikely to
combust in a chain reaction, as was seen in the Los Angeles area.
