Are you more likely or less likely to buy now?

Uhh . . . yea in 4S Ranch some homes over time will burn down from fire due to arson, carelessness, gas leak, etc. Just like homes in ANY neighborhood. My only point is that 4S, in comparison to the rest of San Diego county bar coastline communities (w/in 2 miles of ocean) is well protected from “Santa Ana wind driven fire” which is the most destructive type. Dumb dumba$$ and his cigarette butt is not going to burn 300 homes like the Santa Ana fire did in RB. I said not a single home in 4S burned, north or south. I then stated that the south portion was particularly well protected. I know its a complicated discussion to follow but if you really try, r e a d s l o w, and read it twice I’m sure you’ll understand it. The correction to straw, which it was, was for the lead in to the “strawman” comment.

I rest my case with respect to 4S being significantly less fire prone. 4S is one of only 5 communities in all of San Diego to have adopted the most stringent fire resistant building standards per what expert??? Non other than the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Chief . . . he’s the expert pointing out that 4S Ranch is more protected against this type of fire than other areas. This article couldn’t have made my points ay better. Another excellent benefit of living in 4S Ranch 🙂 Just face it . . . my arguments are sound and right and yours are wrong. Every realtor or homeseller in 4S should print out this article and hand to each prospective buyer. A great selling point for the homes in 4S! 🙂 xoxo

“As the Witch Creek fire raced through some of San Diego County’s priciest neighborhoods and crept to the edge of others north and east of Rancho Santa Fe, not a single home in the five subdivisions that have implemented the strategy was lost, fire authorities said.”

. . .

“The communities, which together cover hundreds of acres, are The Bridges, The Crosby, Cielo, Santa Fe Valley and 4S Ranch.”

“It is a wildfire protection plan that imposes construction and landscaping standards intended to be so stringent – including mandatory interior fire sprinklers and broad swaths of protective landscaping – that homeowners can remain sheltered in their houses if they cannot evacuate.”

“The five communities, all within the Rancho Santa Fe fire district, are the only ones in the county where the plan has been adopted.”

“A correctly managed shelter-in-place community reduces the fuel levels in proximity to the properties to such an extent that they cannot support a fire,”

“I believe shelter in place made the difference in this case,” Rancho Santa Fe Fire Marshal Cliff Hunter said. “The bottom line is if you build appropriately and place the houses appropriately, and the landscaping and vegetation are appropriate, the homes should still be there.”

“Common requirements for homes built in the shelter-in-place communities include indoor fire sprinklers, noncombustible roofs, wide roads and driveways for firefighting equipment and 100 feet of defensible space around homes with irrigated, fire-resistant plants.”
