I don't know about you, but if I was going to buy a mansion, I probably wouldn't buy it in a fire prone area. Just like I wouldn't buy a house in tornado alley.<br /><br />Nothing makes me shake my head more than watching someone move into a blatantly fire prone area, then their house burns down and they say, "It just came out of nowhere!
