Homes Rise on Rubble; Fire Hazards Faced BEFOEE: Photo above, taken Jnst alter last year's conflagration in Los Angeles, shows one house, protected by fire-resistant roof ing, which remained standing, while nearby homes were destroyed. AFTER: Same scene one year later. Scan still show, hut new homes ? with fire-resistant roots?have replaced some nibble. One year ago this month a conflagration swept the exclu sive Bel Air-Brentwood sections of Los Angeles, destroying 484 homes?some valued as high as 1500,000?and 21 other build ings. Total insured losses ex ceeded $24 million; the cost of fighting the fire was ait estimated $3 million. MiractiftflM?, no lives were lost. What has happened during the intervening months? ' The scorched canyon walla and charred rubble punctuated by houseless chimneys and gap ing fireplaces have been soft ened by the quick comeback of green ground cover. Here and there new homes going up on old foundations stand beside desdrtfed' rtrtfis tigged with "Tor Sale" signs. Others, untouched by the fire, gaze out on the blackened chim neys of former neighbors. Because of the natural condi tions in the area?a vast, dense growth of the most flammable ground cover in the western hemisphere, and seasons of ex treme drought often coupled with hot, dry winds that ap proach gale force?fire will al ways be a hazard. Added to these are man-made fire haz ards, including houses cantile vered or built on stilts over steep, brush-covered slopes, and highly flammable roofs. These conditions have long been recognized by fire authori ties as extremely hazardous. For years the Los Angeles Fire Department has fought for measures to reduce the danger of conflagrations. Despite earnest warnings and the terrible lesson of last year's sweeping fire, a few home own ers nave rebuilt their homes exactly as they were before. But a recent inspection of the Bel Air-Brentwood area showed that most of the residents who were rebuilding had switched to flre-retardant roofing materials. These may be rock roofs, asbes tos cement, tile, slate, metal, or asphalt shingles. Property owners have planted fire-resistant ground covers and have installed many new sprin kler systems to irrigate the new Sowth. To allay major floods at threaten the denuded can yons, city, state, and county agencies nave sown copious amounts of rye grass.
