During The Wildfires In Los Angeles, The Business Magnate Explains How The “Miracle” House Survived “Untouched”

The US wildfire tragedy has reached its fifth day, leaving a path of destruction in its wake. With at least 16 lives lost, 200 people forced to evacuate, and 10,000 structures reduced to ashes, the situation is nothing short of a catastrophe. But amidst the charred remains of Los Angeles, one mansion in Malibu stands as a paradox of preservation—an untouched monolith of luxury amidst a sea of devastation.

The mansion, seemingly granted immunity by the fire gods, belongs to none other than the business magnate, David Steiner. Picture this: a 3-story, 9 million USD marvel of architecture, complete with four sumptuous bedrooms sprawled across nearly 400 square meters. It stands proud and unscathed, while its less fortunate neighbors are now mere echoes of their former glory.

Now, you might be wondering how such a miraculous feat of preservation was achieved—orchestrated by David himself, of course. In a twist that would make Mother Nature smile wryly, David didn’t construct the mansion to ward off fires. No, he anticipated the rumble of earthquakes, the ‘Hollywood celebrities’ of natural disasters. With bricks, stones, fireproof roofing, and piles anchored 15 meters deep, David’s fortress was built to laugh in the face of seismic tremors.

Despite his impenetrable precautions, David admitted he hadn’t counted on Malibu becoming the setting for a wildfire apocalypse. And as fate would have it, while the flames marched closer, David was full of dread, envisioning his beloved mansion succumbing to the fiery onslaught. But, lo and behold, when the smoke cleared, a wonder awaited him. The mighty fortress had endured the blaze with the defiance of a seasoned Hollywood hero.

The real estate agent added to the melodrama by somberly predicting the house’s demise, but, as David recounts, “miracles always happen”—a contender, perhaps, for the next Hollywood blockbuster tagline.

While David’s architectural triumph remains intact, his focus lies less on bricks and mortar and more on human bonds. He emphasized the irreplaceable value of his loved ones’ safety over material possessions, acknowledging that while his walls withstood fire, it couldn’t replace the warmth of family.

David’s neighbors and strangers alike flooded him with prayers and sympathies. Yet, with a heart as fortified as his mansion, David urges them to save their well-wishes for those who truly need them, reminding us all that property, unlike life, can be reshaped and rebuilt.
