The Los Angeles wildfires have left devastation in their wake, consuming over 20,000 acres and destroying thousands of homes. Yet amidst the chaos, one Malibu villa, owned by retired businessman David Steiner, stood miraculously untouched. While his neighbors’ properties were reduced to rubble, Steiner’s $9 million home emerged unscathed—a rare testament to strategic design and construction in the face of nature’s fury.
Wildfires Ravage Los Angeles County
The Palisades fire was one of eight major blazes that ravaged Los Angeles County, fueled by strong winds and a prolonged lack of rain. Over 5,000 homes and businesses have been destroyed, making it one of the most destructive fires in recent memory. Among the victims were high-profile celebrities, including Paris Hilton, Anna Faris, Eugene Levy, and Billy Crystal, who lost their homes in the infernos.
While firefighters have since contained three of the fires, the toll on the community is staggering. Authorities suspect arson played a role in at least one blaze, the Kenneth fire, which threatened homes near Calabasas and Hidden Hills. A man was apprehended after locals detained him on suspicion of starting the fire.
