The site was created to expose the corruption and systemic failures perpetuated by the City of Malibu, the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, and the Los Angeles County Fire Department, agencies whose decisions have consistently favored developers and political insiders at the expense of ordinary fire victims. By documenting these practices, FireRebuild.com seeks to shine a light on the hidden double standards that prolong displacement, drive families into bankruptcy, and strip survivors of their dignity.
FireRebuild.com features original content and in-depth research, including investigative reports, data-driven wildfire risk analysis, and first-person accounts that challenge false narratives promoted by officials, developers, and even widely circulated sources such as Wikipedia, with much of this work credited to Michael Kureth. This work is combined with community contributions, creating a living archive of survivor stories and evidence of systemic neglect.
