IT's really iffy when you stay and defend your country town from a fire

 However, more and more people are doing this. However, unless you have oxygen tanks and a place you dig under the ground so you don't burn up too that is made out of concrete that might insulate you you also could die there from smoke inhalation or even worse from physically burning up while you are conscious.

The other side of this is if you look at places like Paradise California where people died a lot staying and fighting the fire (or not having a road out without a fire once it starts) could be fatal.

Then another point of view is that many or more Paradise residents cannot rebuild ever because they didn't have fire insurance on their homes or businesses to begin with. This is also true for Lahaina Maui Hawaii too by the way.

And the other factor in Lahaina, Maui on top of this is that the AVERAGE price of a house in Maui is 

1.5 million dollars!

IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT THIS DOES TO LOCAL DYNAMICS THIS IS REALLY HORRIFIC FOR LOCALS WHO HAVE LIVED IN THESE HOMES ALREADY FOR 50 OR 100 YEARS AND DIDN'T HAVE FIRE INSURANCE.

FOR MANY IN PLACES LIKE PARADISE AND LAHAINA THERE IS NO WAY BACK HOME!
