I don't get why they can't build houses out of bricks and/or concrete like in Europe, with mostly ceramic roof tiles, yeah it may cost more for your standards/take a little longer to build, but if done well it holds up way better through the years and simply doesn't burn, nor easily falls apart at every tornado that passes, they aren't perfect, but they'd sure do better at facing these kind of events. If you want use thick wood just for the roof structure like it's done here in Europe, if the fire is strong enough yeah it may burn, but since your ceiling below is also made with bricks/concrete/metal it will stop the fire from easily spreading down into the living quarters, therefore greatly limiting the damage, your living area acts kind of like a capsule. If it's a work well done even if your roof were to collapse, your ceiling should resist, or at least limit the damage. Even if the fire managed to enter your house and everything inside burns, the structure itself will survive, now sure it will look like a blackened empty shell afterwards, but at least that won't literally burn to the ground leaving basically nothing but cinder. It's also a good solution for tornadoes and hurricanes, yeah the roof may fly away and if the wind's strong enough your windows may explode but it's highly unlikely that it will be strong enough to make the house collapse completely. Also in the case of a hurricane with annexed floods, the water will surely mess up your house badly, but at least it's unlikely it will be swept away like something made of wood, plywood and drywall. I don't get it personally, having houses built like this could save millions if not billions of $ in damage every year.
@Brute Better, I think the heat from the fire is transferred thru the glass and ignites the curtains. We don't think about curtains igniting in a fire since they are inside the house.
In the paradise fire a lot of the houses had roofs with clay tiles painted with an aluminum base designed to be fire resistant. It will only burn when saturated with a flammable material. Bricks can't burn because thats how there made. And if the house burns to the ground, the trees next to it should atleast have some damage.
@Messer Schmidt Sure, Houses with brick burn with unscathed trees all around them. Aluminum car rims gone but plastic shopping carts right next to it unmelted. Wind direction can move a fire but not make it choosy. And why is facebook taking down certain videos of fire footage?
@Messer Schmidt Do you know how smart meters work and why people were against them. Start a back burn on a windy day as an excuse to make people evacuate then remotely overload peoples homes until catch fire. Yes I know you think your Government loves you as a child and would pet your head and tell you everything is all right. They also locked you down because they really want to keep you safe. Wear your little paper mask and get your pokies. We don't wanna have to use force now. A man can be a woman and a woman a man and we'll ruin you if don't comply. Eat your fast food and wash down your prescription pills. Their not only good for you their nummy, nummy. Never think, never question, always obey. Weakness is power, freedom is slavery, go back to sleep.
@Messer Schmidt What do you mean clearly? How many people do you meet on the net that fight wild fires? I am the 3rd generation of my family to live in my house. 3 years ago the city I live in did work on all the storm drains. About 6 months after the project was complete it rained and 300 homes got flooded including mine. I've seen heavy rains over the years and when you end up with standing water in your yard and notice the storm drains taking on water at a slower pace then it has years prior you begin to suspect your city of making climate change more than it is. When wild fires become a trend it first makes me look at the those in charge of land management not cleaning up brush, dry fallen trees and high grass during a dry season. Because of climate policies controlled back burns have been halted in some areas. It seems many states are adopting California policies of not cleaning parks, limiting the amount of trash they will allow a person to throw away, and piles of human shit. And I will also suspect arson either from an evil citizen or a paid government worker helping push the Unite Nations narrative that people should be forced to live in NYC style habitats in micro apartments where procreation is regulated and consumption is rationed. There is more than 1000 years of reasons why I don't trust Government. The 20th century alone should be enough for people to be paranoid.
@Messer Schmidt Really? No opinion on all the other things I said? Just one of those city workers waiting on your pension doing what your told. I'll bet you loved the riots. watching peoples businesses go up in smoke. Being told to stand down for equality like the cops were?
when are people going to start building precast concrete homes that the various parts bolt together like precast tunnel lining sections.. including roof panels.. wood and conventional construction inside the fireproof and tornado resistant home shells.. steel frame multi layer thick windows..
A house like that would be nearly impossible to vent during a fire, if there were something like a kitchen fire the house would turn into a blast furnace in minutes. It would be harder to cut holes in the roof, use windows for ventilation or entry/extraction, plus people probably aren't willing to buy houses like that. The main problem with wildfires burning down houses is there's more people moving closer to high risk areas.
This video COULD have been 15 seconds long, all you had to say in answer to the video title is *"HEAT! wood burns at around 400 degrees F & that's what houses are made out of...so there, now you know whats behind the cause of fire burning houses."*

I think the point is, we need to upgrade our homes. You live in a flood zone, you should have your house on stilts. You live in an areas with tornadoes, you need to have a basement.

Watch the video. They explain how the materials the house is built from make a huge difference in whether the fire causes the fire or not. Also, some people think houses catch fire from direct contact with fire, like in a grill or campfire. But most houses that burn catch fire from the embers.
Hoping governments heed IIBHS and NIST building science data for new building codes, starting with neighboring Superior and unincorporated Boulder County.
Brick homes with ceramic tiled roofing and metal guttering would probably help. And for places like California,you can now build with bricks and be quake proof. They are also better for the planet as you don't have to cut down loads of trees or replace the cheap shingles on the regular.
Speaking of being cheaper to build, simply taking action on climate change would be much cheaper, and better. Stop using coal, oil, and natural gas. Introduce a cap and trade system.

The risk areas are much larger than you'd think. For example central California is listed as "low risk." Basically everything else is moderate or high risk.
@@-darrell People that want to live in California in general are insane or just rich. The whole state is a disaster lol. Nobody ever talks about where I live it's so quiet.
It's the embers actually, not the fire. Not a lot of people realize this. They think the fires are far away or contained by a river and they are safe. But the strong winds generated by large fires can send embers very very far, across rivers even. And if your house is made from the wrong materials, it can be very sensitive to embers.
@@Feintgames still, how do embers set houses on fire? Stucco walls and ceramic roof tiles don’t catch fire. These homes must have wood sidings and flammable roof tiles. If attic vents are the problem then there should be a smart engineering solution for that. Like shutting the attic vents during wildfires. It seems like it isn’t hard to figure out.
That rock mulched, plain Jane gray side was just so attractive. That’s it! Everyone should start building their homes as drab as possible, no plants, trees, grass, mulch or yard ornaments anywhere near it. Maybe just concrete or asphalt your yard. Aesthetics obviously mean nothing.
Did YOU watch the video? It states that there are no “fireproof” homes, only “fire resilient” homes. Yes, your brick wall will still be there, the rest will be ashes.
