His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

They’re not fireproof standards.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers who study how houses burn down say\u003ca href=\"https://lpfw.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/2014_Moritz-et-al_Learning-to-Coexist-with-Wildfire.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> it’s embers that are responsible \u003c/a>for burning houses down, not walls of flame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When embers land on ornamental mulch, pine needles built up at the base of a wall or wooden deck furniture, they smolder. And those little fires can \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vL_syp1ZScM\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">eventually ignite the house itself\u003c/a>, even a fire-resistant house, especially if no one is there to put them out, as is usually the case in an evacuation zone during a megafire where firefighting resources are stretched thin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current California wildland fire codes \u003ca href=\"http://osfm.fire.ca.gov/codedevelopment/pdf/WPBC_TaskForce_2016/20160907_CSFMWUI.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">may also have weaknesses\u003c/a>, according to Morelli. They don’t cover wooden sheds, carports, or backyard play structures, which can ignite, sending embers towards the house. Nor do they cover skylights that open outwards. And garage doors aren’t as fire-resistant as they could be, meaning embers can get sucked underneath them, igniting whatever is inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being new, the houses on Andorra Lane were likely some of the most fire-resistant in Ventura. But many of the older houses that burned in the Thomas Fire also had \u003cem>some\u003c/em> fire-resistant features.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to CalFire data, 80 percent of houses destroyed in the Thomas Fire had fire-resistant exteriors. And 90 percent had fire-resistant roofs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>It’s where you build, not what you build\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To fire ecologists like Alexandra Syphard with the Conservation Biology Institute, it’s becoming increasingly clear that houses built in risky places are impossible to fire-proof.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can make a big difference in increasing the potential safety of your house but you can’t guarantee that it’s not going to burn,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her research has found that \u003cem>where \u003c/em>you build your house, not what it’s made of, \u003ca href=\"https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0033954\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">is the biggest factor\u003c/a> in determining whether it will burn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And approving new development is done by cities and counties, which \u003ca href=\"http://www.laist.com/2018/09/24/why_do_we_keep_building_houses_in_places_that_burn_down.php\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">often have a financial incentive to greenlight construction projects.\u003c/a> The state tries to guide them to do the right thing, but “at the end of the day, it’s up to the local jurisdiction to protect their citizens,” said Pete Muñoa, CalFire’s deputy chief of land use planning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says it’s really only \u003ca href=\"https://alumni.berkeley.edu/california-magazine/just-in/2017-10-30/burning-question-can-california-prevent-next-wildfire\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">academics\u003c/a> who are discussing giving the state more control over where houses are built in fire prone areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They talk about that all the time,” he said. “‘They shouldn’t be building there, period,’ is what I’ve heard a few of the professors state. That’s easier said than done. Where do you put those folks? And how do you compensate them for that?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early October, workers were almost done framing Phil Azer’s replacement house on Andorra Lane. A small yellow sign in the front yard read, “Permits issued! Construction starting soon! Ventura strong!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Financially it made the most sense for us to rebuild,” Azer explained, because the insurance company would give him more money if he rebuilt than if he walked away and built a new house somewhere else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Azer’s experience — rebuilding in the same place, to the same building codes, is quite common — \u003ca href=\"http://www.pnas.org/content/115/13/3314\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a study published \u003c/a>earlier this year in the \u003cem>Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences \u003c/em>found rates of home construction are higher in the footprint of wildfires than in surrounding areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are not changing our building patterns to become more fire resilient if we just put houses in the exact same places,” said Volker Radeloff, an ecologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the lead author of the study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They may not burn a year or two later, but 10 to 20 years later, there will enough fuel for the next fire.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But city and state officials are reluctant to do anything that would increase the cost of new housing.

They don’t cover wooden sheds, carports, or backyard play structures, which can ignite, sending embers towards the house. Nor do they cover skylights that open outwards. And garage doors aren’t as fire-resistant as they could be, meaning embers can get sucked underneath them, igniting whatever is inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being new, the houses on Andorra Lane were likely some of the most fire-resistant in Ventura.

Jerry Brown. But before many of those laws could even take effect, California was hit by two devastating fires, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11705243/california-wildfires-what-you-need-to-know\">the most destructive and deadly blaze in state history\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I imagine there will be a pretty big emphasis on this, and there should be,” Wood said, noting that his bill is aimed at preventing and limiting fires. “It goes back to that old adage — an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
