Fallbrook Fire Survivors, Kenneth and Shannon Rexrode are in the process of rebuilding their sustainable dream home. The Rexrodes see this as a once in a lifetime opportunity.
“I was determined to rebuild a home that would virtually be fire proof, very green, and extremely energy efficient,” said Kennth Rexrode.
“I wanted to be a part of the future and build something creative and highly energy efficient.”

As the Witch Creek fire blazed toward their home, Bob and Betsy Macomber refused to let it go without a fight.
“For about 45 minutes we had our motorcycle helmets on hosing down the flames trying to put out the fire,” said Macomber.

Out of those many reasons…the environment tops the list for Fire Survivor Ellen Norton, as she rebuilds her energy-efficient home. “Conservation of precious resourses, less pollution and making a political stance against foreign oil are all important, ” said Norton.
Her home now stands as a green example in the community.

After the 2007 wildfires the vast devastation could be seen throughout San Diego. Now, many homes are in the rebuilding process and fire survivors see this as a green opportunity. San Diego Fire Survivor, Ken Baker, wants to show others that they can make safe, energy-efficient and fire-resistant choices when rebuilding their homes.
