A house that endured a fire alone in the ashes drew attention amid the growing damage caused by wildfires in the western U.S. city of LA.

According to foreign media, a number of houses along the coastline were burned down as one of the simultaneous LA wildfires, the Palisades wildfire, hit, but a three-story white house was spotted alive.

The house is owned by David Steiner, a lawyer and former CEO of waste management company Waste Management.

Steiner explained that it was thanks to the construction of the house with a strong structure using concrete to withstand fires and earthquakes.It added that the roof of the

building was made of fireproof material and that it also built a 15-meter-deep foundation in the bedrock to withstand strong waves.

He said, "I offer my condolences to those who lost their homes."
