This is what I do not understand.  Why would someone live in those areas?  And rebuild in the same area?  Or if they do, have no fire insurance?

I had family living in Simi Valley.  After the first fire "threat" many years ago, they all packed up the kids & moved to Rialto.

@Tinkrbl44 Yes I DID. I've heard about all the fires. I live steam NBC Channel 4 news also. Okay? I also check the Daily Breeze for local news.

Good grief, I wasn't scolding you.  Take it easy.

Good questions.  Where I lived in the valley was not considered a fire area, however, there was one year when there were several fires raging in Northridge.  I knew the people who lived in Malibu who rebuilt twice after fires destroyed their property simply because they loved the area.  Does it make sense?  No, and certainly I wouldn't rebuild the first time but there is no accounting for other people's actions.  Many fires start due to the winds in September and October, one spark is all it takes.
