I know 3 firefighters who live in the California foothills, and just like this guy, they all have laughable defensible space around their homes.

ive been a carpenter for quite a few years now and I was thinking that they need to make the roof vents that will close during a fire

[@Mrbfgray]

@@jayralston2305 There are special vents available. A ton of considerations but a few top my list--STEEL roof, fireproof outer walls, heavy window shutters....after all construction considerations maybe invest in high capacity auto or semi-auto watering system.
None of it inexpensive but considering the risk so high that insurance is unavailable or "Lloyds of London"....only way I'd do it, or live elsewhere.
