    Can't help but feel like this will not help anyone (re?)gain faith in the Avalon brand, nor will it help instill any faith in the brand.  
     
    I wonder, it said they were able to keep the fire from spreading to the completed structures... pardon me if I sound a little flippant, but anyone know if they actually learned a damn thing from the Edgewater Avalon fire, or are they still making the same decisions that, at least can be ARGUED, contributed to the fire's size?  You'd think they'd at least consider putting in fire walls, and sprinklers, especially if they insist on using that highly flammable "engineered lumber" to build most of the structure.  ~_~

    Sadly,  Avalon didn't learn anything from Edgewater. But as long as Avalon builds extreme lightweight wooden construction buildings, fires like this will be possible. This project was under construction and not occupied, and insurance probably covers it so Avalon probably doesn't care. But what would happen if it was occupied, and how much time would it take for residents to get out?
     
    On the legislative side, there should be a law banning lightweight wood in structures such as these.
