Episode summary
After surviving Permit Goblin, Malibu Girl thinks the hard part is over. Then the sky turns gold, the wind shifts, and Fire Marshal Dragon descends from the canyon with a clipboard made of smoke.
He does not roar at the ocean. He roars at dead brush, blocked driveways, overgrown slopes, confused guests, and anyone who says, “We will figure out evacuation later.”
Malibu Girl: “But the view is so peaceful.”
Fire Marshal Dragon: “Peaceful is not the same as prepared.”
The lesson
Fire Marshal Dragon is not the villain. He is the loud guardian of defensible space, visible access, clear routes, trimmed vegetation, real alerts, and decisions made before the road becomes a parking lot.
