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.
“When I saw the ashes after the fire I felt numb,” said Baker. “I didn’t even want to sift through the dirt.”
Baker said his goal was to make something good from something bad.
“Building green, energy-efficient and fire-resistant is very important to me, and I’m happy to open my home up and show people what I did and why I did it.”
Baker is not selling anything he is just happy to share his experience and what he has learned through the process.
Like Ken Baker, The California Center for Sustainable Energy’s Rebuild Central Program believes it’s very important to get this information to the fire survivors. Rebuild Central does this through its workshops and community outreach.
