For the films spectacular climax, the filmmakers found an abandoned housing tract just outside of Lancaster, California. A victim of the Savings & Loan crisis, the property had been untouched for over two years. 12 out of the 56 houses in the tract became a dramatic inferno for the scene. To meet EPA standards, each house had to be stripped of all insulation, paper, wiring, plumbing, and anything plastic. In addition to administering a heavy dose of flame retardant to each house, propane gas lines were used in each of the 12 houses. This allowed the creation of a fire that would not burn wood and one that could be lit and re-lit as needed for each take. Oddly enough, the fire sequences proved to be a welcome heat source during the night shooting, as it took place in January, where the desert temperatures dipped down to as low as 11 degrees Fahrenheit.
