Navigating First-Time Home Building, Electrical Safety Woes, and Wildfire Preparedness Tips from a Firefighter

In our first segment today, Ron speaks with architect Matt Piotrowski about the viability of first-time buyers stymied by a tight real estate market building versus buying. We get into a couple of scenarios where it might be viable to build, especially if the decision includes a plan for expansion.  The Horror Story today involves an electrician’s mistake that could have resulted in disaster, had it not been for the diligence of the homeowner. There’s sound advice at the end of this segment. In our Feature, we discuss with a firefight what would happen if just some of the many publicized issues with the recent LA wildfires were introduced to a small wildfire that could easily have been controlled. This ‘is something to take to heart, if your home is near an area filled with trees or brush.
