Firefighters battling the Caldor Fire out west were successful in keeping the wildfire from engulfing South Lake Tahoe, but the blaze still poses a significant threat to other areas. Ryan Ralos watched in horror as his family’s home burned to the ground on the news. After that, he discovered that there are specially built houses with technology that won’t ignite in a fire. Special foam bricks interlock and are filled with concrete, which Laurie Fisher of Phoenix Architectural Services says won’t burn.

If you don’t want fire. don’t use dry wall. Use cement or mortar.

This is certainly a worthwhile investment for people who live in dry-brush or wooded areas. It obviously costs a fortune, but you nearly eliminate the chance of losing your home and other prized possessions.

This sounds like something Mr. Beast would make a content out of, "last to stay in this fire proofed house during a fire gets their own fire proofed house!"

Many people can't afford to just build a new home. Those fire shield blankets might be a possible solution. It would require some time and labor to do. That means it's not feasible for older or less abled people on their own. What if there was a built in deployment system on the roof. It could section out and deploy the fitted sheets down over the home and it could just take minutes to join them together with some great resistant zippers or clips. A good way to cover the house quickly maybe.

Notice they never said how much it costs to build with that material.

We use cement and re-bar for every construction in Mexico and other countries. Why is it that a location with yearly destructive fires hasn't adapted to building with cement?

"How can you build a fire proof house?" Don't build a house. No house no fire.

Those fire sheets should be a mandatory household item or easy access in areas prone to fires.
