“I started getting pictures and realised we had made it through,” Steiner continued. “My wife sent me something this morning that said, ‘Last house standing’. And it brought a pretty big smile to my face at a pretty bad time.”

He believes that the house survived due to its cruise ship-like construction.

“It has an ‘ultra-sturdy construction’ and was built to withstand earthquakes,” the father of three said.

He explained that “It’s stucco and stone with a fireproof roof,” and boasts pilings ‘like 50 feet into the bedrock’ which keep it steady when strong waves crash in.

“To be totally honest with you, I never in a million years thought a wildfire would jump to the Pacific Coast Highway and start a fire,” Steiner said. “I thought, ‘If we ever have an earthquake, this would be the last thing to go’. I honestly didn’t think that if we had a fire, this would be the last thing to go. And it was.

“The architecture is pretty nice. But the stucco and fireproof roof are real nice.”

When people texted him, saying they were praying for him, Steiner said he’d only lose a property, not his home. He didn’t have family memories there. He says we need to pray for those who have lost their homes.
