Building Better Homes in Wildfire Country
Sponsored by:
Wildfires are unpredictable and no building is 100% safe, but there are ways to design your house and landscape to provide more time for occupants to safely evacuate.
If it seems like wildfires have been making more frequent news in recent year, that’s because the number of burned acres per year has been increasing steadily for decades. Recent years have seen devastating losses due to wildfires. Statistics may not keep people from building new homes in wildfire-prone areas, as some are very desirable parts of the country to live in. This leaves us to ask the question: can a house be designed and built to survive wildfires? The answer is yes, but it is no small feat.
