What's predictable is preventable.

What's happened to LA over the last decade is just tragic.

It's sad to watch.

Well, the first thing I did is I stayed in town.

You didn't abandon the city.

I think when you want to be a leader, you should probably be present.

Good start.

That's a good rule.

Listen, we learned a lot when we were building our resort up in Montecito, in Miramar.

We had fires there that were threatening the construction site.

We were just under construction.

And I had a very smart guy still do on the team, name is Banyan, and he's the one that said, we can bring in private firefighters, we can bring in our own water trucks, we can bring in retardant.

And listen, here's another rule that's really important when you're in the commercial side of the business.

You want the firefighters that are working for the city or the county first and foremost to protect the homes.

And we know that they should be doing that.

So we want to have resources to protect our building so the resources aren't taken away from the residential areas.

That's just, I think, being a good citizen.

So fast forward to Palisades, we know we're in a fire zone.

We built it with all non-combustible materials.

We designed it so there was no open vents that an ember can get into.
