The Oscar nominations for 2025 are being pushed back almost a week from their original date as the California wildfires continue.

This will mobilize the celebrities and end this fire. Maybe a cringy sing-along like they did during the pandemic to raise our spirits,

I wouldnt be at all surprised if CA passes a law/code saying all those houses being rebuilt have to be sprayed with this stuff or framed out of FRT materials. Which you and I know...FRT lumber is crazy expensive. We use it regularly on apartment complexes especially when its wrapped around or built above parking decks/garages. Garden style up here in NC only has to be FRT if the buildings are too close together, too far from a hydrant, can't get a firetruck up to the bldg etc. Even then its usually just exterior sheeting in most cases.

I think they have a bigger plan of making it look more like Beijing.

yeah, FRT is usually required to only protect from fires from exterior sources outside the building. You aren't going to find it in internal applications for the most part.

When applied correctly it changes if the material is considered "combustible" or not. its still wood, so it will still burn, but my understanding is that any FRT you have to keep an applied flame on to keep burning it. Otherwise it will put itself out. so it makes sense to use it on the outside because there is limited source of fire directly adjacent to the FRT. Its kinda the mid point between wood and block, usually considered the same as light gauge studs from a fire standpoint.

FWIW in Florida pretty much every apartment we are doing south of Tallahassee has a block wall exterior. no structural wood studs at all. That is to protect from projectiles in hurricanes, and deals with wind better. Some places along the east coast we are seeing it too, especially if the developer is primarily out of Florida. Due to the earthquakes that is not a great solution for California even though it would cut down on fires spreading.
