Fire-Resistant Homes: Building a Safer Tomorrow

To protect homes from wildfires, homeowners must consider using Class A fire-resistant materials for roofing, siding, and decking.

Sealed vents and fire-rated windows can prevent ember entry and reduce the risk of ignition.

Proper site planning, including a five-foot noncombustible perimeter, can help reduce direct flame contact.

Advanced building materials like clay or concrete tile, metal roofing, and fiber-cement siding can provide fire resistance.

Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) and prefabricated and modular fireproof construction can create highly insulated structures.

AI-Powered Wildfire Detection systems can detect fires before they are visible to the human eye.

Automated Wildfire Suppression Systems can automate fire defense measures and provide an advanced, proactive defense against wildfires.

The "Miracle Mansion" in Malibu, California, features a combination of fire-resistant materials and techniques that have proven effective in wildfire mitigation.

Fire-resistant homes can provide a safer tomorrow by using noncombustible materials, ember-proofing, and smart suppression systems.

Homeowners can design homes in fire-prone areas to withstand extreme fire events and improve long-term resilience with the right materials and technologies.
