The Painted Ladies are Victorian and Edwardian houses and buildings repainted, starting in the 1960s, in three or more colors that embellish or enhance their architectural details. About 48,000 houses in the Victorian and Edwardian styles were built in San Francisco between 1849 and 1915, and many were painted in bright colors.[1]

The Painted Ladies were featured in the documentary during the one year segment, where nature most potent elements is about to reclaim its supremacy on earth. Wildfires, triggered by lightning strikes, where once fought by humans now rage unchecked throughout the cities, towns, and villages with abandoned buildings, wild grasses, and dry debris could [all] tinder the raging flames.

One of the cities being hit by wildfires is San Francisco, causing much of the structures there to burn, including the elegant Victorian and Edwardian Houses: the Painted Ladies, which are now also useful as kindling, burning toward the Painted Ladies in the process.
