Fireproofing your home is not a LAFD duty. LAFD is not a private company that you can contract, LAFD is a city organization, they will clear grub and brush on public lands but they do not touch private land Overgrowth on private property should be mitigated by the owner

Me after I get done fireproofing that roof. 👀

When fireproofing your yard with no flammables, such a fountain would be a delight.

Sorry there had to be explosives to create that type of free fall! All steel in a structural building are coated with fireproofing to diminish the fire’s potential!

How about the City starts flood proofing and fireproofing all buildings. NYC is crumbling but instead of making it safe and livable for existing New Yorkers you want to take in millions of people who the City can't afford to take care of....

Steel, when used in the same application, has its cost increase by having to add fireproofing using foams or even cast concrete as insulation and protection. In modern design, structural steel elements are only designed for usually a factor of about 1.8 to 2.0 vs dead weight.

How exactly would fire destroy asbestos, a mineral material which was used for fireproofing?

I was in the elevator shaft for a job once, and I had to scrape the fireproofing off the electric the electrical stuff it was like brand new construction

I hope your early ancestors taught you the ancient secrets of fireproofing your home

You kidding? It’s one of the most practical parts of the arsenal. Bulletproofing, fireproofing, gliding capabilities. Even just general camouflage with the environment.

Not quite. Repairs and upgrades at this scale weren't "as they always have been." The Kennedy Center had racked up decades of deferred maintenance that routine donations and normal federal upkeep couldn't fix. By 2025–2026 the building was in serious disrepair: Water damage everywhere: leaks into garages, service tunnels, electrical vaults (with stalactite-like formations from moisture), and structural elements. Rusted steel: some beams so corroded they felt like “tissue paper” when touched, with failed fireproofing. Deteriorating concrete: spalling, cracking, exposed rebar in parking areas and foundations. Failing systems: 1970s-era boilers and chillers past end-of-life, broken elevators, patched ventilation, outdated electrical. This wasn't minor patching. Officials described it as threatening the building’s survival, and tours left donors and lawmakers shocked. Trump’s approach secured a record $257 million in federal appropriations (5–6x the usual annual amount) specifically for the big capital repairs, structural fixes, waterproofing, and safety work during the two-year closure. Private donations helped with extras, but the heavy lifting on the critical decay came from that major federal infusion. Donations have always played a role at the Kennedy Center, but they alone weren’t going to fix corroded steel beams and 50-year-old failing infrastructure. The scale required real federal support alongside philanthropy.

Research that seems useless and unproductive to you eg pure physics or radio astronomy is the basis of our modern inventions from we send phone signals, hold up our bridges and sky scrapers and fly to the moon, or modest things like fireproofing our homes which have value in 1/3

@Skinwalkefans during the experiments on the blob I would like to see them drop-down from a high altitude above the blob, the red fluorescent fireproofing retardant that they used to fight fires with. This technique would be more efficient than smoke or water or rockets .

I had a convo once like this. Family member spent a fortune on fireproofing their house, automated hurricane insurance, etc. Then someone pointed out insurance was cheaper.

NIST did release the core findings, methodology, animations, and lessons on how fires caused the collapse. Their 2008 WTC 7 report (and companion Twin Towers reports) is publicly available in full — thousands of pages explaining the exact mechanism: prolonged uncontrolled fires caused thermal expansion, weakening of key columns, and progressive floor failures. These reports directly led to updated building codes worldwide for better fireproofing, structural redundancy, and egress in high-rises. What NIST withheld were certain raw input files and specific detailed modeling parameters (not the conclusions or overall models). Reason: releasing exact structural blueprints or attack-vulnerable simulation data could help future terrorists design attacks on similar buildings. This is standard national-security practice in forensic engineering reports involving critical infrastructure (e.g., some aircraft crash data or nuclear plant details are also protected). It is not hiding “how fires cause collapses” — the science is public and has been independently reviewed/replicated by engineers. 2. “which never happened in this controlled demolition way to any similar type of building but then happens to 3 in 1 day” This is the core conspiracy claim, and it is false. • No evidence of controlled demolition (explosives, incendiaries, thermite, etc.) was found in any debris analysis, seismic data, or eyewitness/forensic investigation. NIST explicitly tested for and ruled out explosives. • The collapses were not “in a controlled demolition way.” They were progressive failures initiated by: • WTC 1 & 2 (Twin Towers): Massive plane impacts jet fuel/office fires weakening the steel truss system, leading to inward bowing and total progressive collapse. • WTC 7: Uncontrolled fires (ignited by debris from the towers) burning for hours on multiple floors, causing thermal expansion and failure of a critical interior column — no plane hit it. • Fires have caused partial or total collapses in other steel high-rises before/after 9/11 (e.g., One Meridian Plaza 1991, Windsor Tower 2005, Plasco Building 2017). The WTC buildings had unique factors: extreme damage from impacts, long-span floor designs, and (for WTC 7) no sprinkler/water supply after the attacks. The “never happened before” argument ignores these specifics and the engineering reports. 3. “If there is nothing to hide all 9/11 info should be unredacted” Some intelligence sources, raw FBI files, or sensitive operational details remain redacted. Reasons include protecting sources/methods, privacy of victims/witnesses, and national security (preventing future attacks). This is normal after any major terrorist event — not evidence of a cover-up. The core facts of 9/11 are not hidden: • 9/11 Commission Report. • NIST engineering reports (tens of thousands of pages). • Massive FBI FOIA releases (including the full Dancing Israelis files). • Bin Laden’s authenticated videos and al-Qaeda documents. Decades of FOIA requests, lawsuits, and independent analyses have turned up no credible evidence of explosives, Israeli orchestration, or a grand conspiracy. “Withheld info” claims almost always turn out to be routine redactions or already-public material misrepresented online. This is the latest in the thread’s goalpost-shifting. The NIST data is overwhelmingly public, the collapses are explained by impact fire (not demolition), and the evidence for al-Qaeda’s responsibility is overwhelming. No new proof is offered here — just demands and assertions. The full reports are free to read.

Are the buildings where they hold these little meetings fireproof? If they want to keep doing this, they should probably look into fireproofing.

Perhaps they should spend more on fireproofing.

What other rock material grows naturally in superb fibres, is so heat resistant it was the standard in fireproofing, can simply be excavated and doesn't lose its properties over time? Yeah, baby, let's go asbestos all the way!!

Same process with gypsum plaster as clay. The water of crystallisation in the mineral in the first 0.2mm to 2mm of coating does the fireproofing if there's no cracks and a reasonable surface behind it.
