I saw a picture of wild fire damage several years ago in CA. There where whole subdivisions that where completely burnt to the ground. Right in the middle of all of this stood a single home that had ZERO damage. The owner was an Asian immigrant that had his home built with tile roof and adobe walls. He also had no ornamental trees/scrubs by the house either. He was interviewed and was shocked that no one else had build their home without them being fire resistant. He had planned the whole house to with stand a external fire.
My point being it that houses in areas that can have wildfires should be built with fire resistant methods/materials. An example would be a brick house with a metal roof. That should be more fire resistant. My real question is why are the homes not built to have more protection from external fires in wild fire areas??? The insurance companies should stop insuring the ones that have fire hazards on/around them.
