Is that enough?

I've seen some fireproofing for wildfires done in videos and a lot of the efforts focused on work around eaves, how close vegetation is, and anywhere there is ventilation or ways for sparks to get inside the home. I was a little surprised how little focus there was on the building materials.


If a fire like that hits your neighborhood, clear out and pray your home is razed. Smoke smell never leaves

In the same way it is desirable for your car to be deemed a write off after an accident
