California has indeed failed to update building codes to take into account fire danger, and would be unlikely either to enforce updated codes upon existing dwellings or to offer funding for people unable to afford safety improvements.

On the bright side, at the rate everything is catching on fire, bringing old flammable dwellings up to code won't be a problem for long.
