标题:Much of the damage from the LA fires could have been averted

The lesson of the tragedy is that better incentives will keep people safe

正文：The flames are still roaring, the fire crews are still battling and the people of Los Angeles have barely begun to grieve. As of January 16th, the wildfires that struck the city had killed at least 25 people and destroyed more than 12,000 buildings. Whole neighbourhoods look as if they have been firebombed. JPMorgan Chase, a bank, estimates that the bill for the damage will exceed $50bn, making these fires the costliest in American history. Even before the flames are put out, many Angelenos are wondering: could some of the pain have been averted? Alas, the answer is yes

知识点：roaring adj. /ˈrɔːrɪŋ/

1. A roaring fire has large flames and sends out a lot of heat. 熊熊燃烧的 (⽕)

标题:Los Angeles against the flames

Always vulnerable, the city is increasingly susceptible to fire

正文：The five fires that on January 9th were still blazing in and around Los Angeles were already among the most destructive in California’s history. The scale is staggering, even for a state accustomed to natural disasters.Roughly 130,000 people were told to leave their homes; 2,000 buildings have been destroyed. Because wildfires have come to seem more like a certainty than a risk here, a lot will not be insured. State Farm, an insurer, decided not to renew 70% of its policies in Pacific Palisades, one of the worst-hit areas. ABC Los Angeles reckons this has left 1,600 homes there uninsured. Fire crews faced an uneven fight: in the small hours of the morning the neighbourhood fire hydrants ran dry.
