speaking about folks rebuilding in unsuitable places.

In 1987 I was visiting friends in Adelaide (capital of South Australia) who took me touring around, including to the hills area, site of huge fires in recent years and pointed out various sites of interest, including homes destroyed in the fires. Most folks ere rebuilding in the exact same space in formerly tree-filled blocks, which would again be filled with plants & trees over the coming years.

They had spoken to one homeowner sometime before the fire season, who had said with his swimming pool & pump he'd be safe in any fire. We looked at his burnt out site where he had died in the fire.
