After the fires...we will build back better

Imagine your house is on fire.  The last Fire Chief took some sparks and sprayed kerosene on the flames making a bad situation worse.  When he got fired in November, the new Fire Chief stopped spraying kerosene and instead started spraying water, putting out the blaze. 

Now, picture the charred remains of the house...only the strongest structural components surviving.  Water damage is pervasive throughout. 

You and most of your family got out alive, but now its time to roll up your sleeves and start rebuilding.  But we don't want to rebuild to the old unsafe conditions that allowed the blaze to begin in the first place.

We will build back better.  But it will be a long road.  Our only comfort is we will rebuild together.
