Also the possibility that the owner had enough water to get everything wet before leaving, maybe even had been doing that for a few days, or had a sprinkler system for his plants and left that one going, or a combination of those, and there had been enough water in the system to last maybe even through the time the fires were going. I think I have seen some news before of cases where that was enough, with a bit of luck, to spare a house when everything around it burned.
If the roof really is metal, and the house walls made of stone or concrete or something else not flammable that would certainly have helped, but since the plants around it still have their leaves, even if those now seem browned, I'd guess a sprinkler system may have been used. Live, healthy trees, or any plants, don't actually catch on fire all that easily, and if they had had plenty of water just before it even less so.
So you're basically saying someone would've actually broken the 2 days per week, 8 minutes each day, L.A. lawn watering restrictions…just to save their house?
Yep... will be interesting to see if after all this any of the owners of those lone surviving houses might have any trouble from the city officials. Because certainly they will do something like that if they find out any of those owners broke their restrictions.
Since all of those other homes are gone, the property tax revenue is going to plummet. That water hose rebel will probably be fined, heavily, to make up the difference.
Given the intensity of the surrounding fire, radient energies that intense would cause the interior of the home to catch fire (Oakland fire 1992) unless there were windows that block infrared light/enrgy.
So God, where is the free will in that? Did you take it back and I missed it? A vengeful God that gets pissed off and destroys? Sounds more like a human trait projected onto a God and further assumes he handles things the way we would.
Nah, none of this is God's doing. We did it. The remiaining question is will we continue to allow it. Lot's of free will being used in that!
Probably a metal roof,that doesn't burn.
Probably a photoshoop.... methinks
Definitely looks enhanced

Just shocking isn't it - those who disobey survive

Greta will be so disappointed, but at least the water hose rebel still has his home.
Very true.

Modern windows are insulated very well with double and tripple panes.

I just asked my 12yr old what she thinks of this pic.
"It was probably Biden or Kamala's place"
LOL
Apparently it's making the rounds... https://greatawakening.win/p/19A1Lctct2/picture-of-a-house-with-a-red-ro/

And a video about a man who did save his house with a garden hose:
