California fires kill 5 people; hundreds of homes destroyed

美 캘리포니아 산불 급속..."5명 사망, 10여명 실종"
Wildfires raging in California are nowhere near to being contained.
The fire in Redding, northern California has already burned down some 500 homes and now threatens thousands more.
The fire has burned an area reported to be over 300 square kilometers, or as some have put it, the size of the city of Philadephia.
Five people have died in the fires -- two firefighters,... and a grandmother and two of her grandchildren.
Media reports say there are another dozen or so people missing.
There are also large fires near Yosemite National Park and in the mountains east of Los Angeles.
In the Los Angeles fire, a man has been arrested and charged with arson related to nine separate fires.
The weather is not helping with putting them out. It's very hot with almost no humidity.

Build with steel to achieve near absolute fire safety1) I would not rebuild a wood frame structure in a fire zone, but a Kodiak
Steel home with steel siding and roofing - they are fireproof materials
and very hard to burn. I will use fire retardant panel and insulation
The cost should be around $200K with modern amenities. The home has a
high earthquake rating as well therefore perfect for California. The
steel frame, siding, and roofing cost about $70K.2) For near
absolute fire safety, I will use a steel underground fire shelter which
offers a living room, a bathroom, a kitchen, and two bedrooms for $175k.
This shelter with air filtering and ventilation machinery should
home with above ground and underground steel structures, air filtering
and ventilation machinery as well as fire shutters should cost around
$450k to finish and will survive forest fire.
