It's a restoration dilemma.

There was no (zero) water in the fire hydrants! How can that not be a lawsuit? So sad to see a Challenger burnt like that!

That Paradise fire was wild. From the time it started until the time they started pushing cars over the cliff edge with bulldozers to clear the road was a very short time. Town was half gone by the time they even would have been looking at hydrants. I've worked several of the Northern California fires since 2015 or so, all of the Lake, Mendocino, Sonoma, Napa ones including Tubbs that took out ~5k homes in Santa Rosa area. Lots of melted and toasted classic cars in all the ruins. :/

I admit, living in the "forest" isn't the best idea. I live in the desert, have a perimeter trail and a loop road my son made learning to drive plus water facets on all four sides to fight fires, but those people has Zero water in their fire hydrants and sprinkler systems!

By the way, years ago the California Department of Forestry and the sawmills worked in conjunction mapping logging roads to maintain fire fighting. The helicopter and air tankers made huge improvements. Then the anti-loggers came!
