I don't really see what is an "inconvenient truth" here, and their "prevention" seems to be basically "we need better fireproofing standards in homes." The thing is, many of the homes in these areas are already fireproofed! I struggle to understand how anyone can think this is entirely preventable when you're dealing with 60+ mph winds and these kind of dry conditions. That, to me, is the inconvenient truth here - that this area may not be habitable long-term to the degree and density in which it is.
