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.
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!"
I live in the fire zone and investigated ICE construction techniques like this years ago. The problem is, concrete doesn't burn, but it can still be weakened by intense heat. In the Santa Rosa fire concrete foundations were ruined when the rebar inside them melted. In ICF houses the foam is both a concrete support AND insulation for cold weather, and melted foam ruins the wall for the latter purpose. Secondly, the concrete does nothing to protect the heat from getting through windows and igniting the contents of the house. That's what actually happens to many of the houses lost in wildfire--they burn from the inside out due to the heat. There's still a lot to like about concrete houses, but 'fireproof' is not one term I'd use.
I'd rather try mitigating fire in an ICE home than in a stick home :) What's needed is some old timer tech, like cheap adobe walls around the yard (acts as a heat reflector), window shutters (add some of that fireshield to them), a self contained roof sprinkler system, etc. But you bring up a good point, all construction methods have weaknesses that need to be addressed before you ignore an evacuation order.
it's more expensive, but it's cheaper than building it twice. One family in Paradise, CA had their home burn down 3 years in row. They should watch this video.
Adobe, ever notice oldtimers built with adobe? And haciendas all have an adobe wall around the house? The wall acts as a heat reflector to the house, as the adobe is really a giant heat sink, and can reach burnover temperatures. But with the outer wall absorbing a large amount to the infrared energy, the house can resist a large amount of fire before igniting. Now add that new foil, fire resistant roof, and replace vigas with steel, and we have ourselves a winner.
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?
Exactly. Hypothetically speaking, it should be integrated with alarm sprinkler system that has a back up water tank system. Or a low pressure nitrogen system in the house.🤷♂️🤷♂️
This is pretty old tech, my old house was built this way around 2001 in northern California. The only problem we had with it was that the concrete can crack over time when not done right, our basement was constantly flooding during rainy season after a few years.
You should add that despite its new feature, owners should still follow emergency evacuation when announced. Others might think it's okay to stay still inside and wait for the fire to die when in reality it's not a full proof solution.
This is the way that Mountain Homes will need to be built in the future. The down side is that your home will cost quite a bit more but will save a lot on heating and cooling over the years.
Very interesting! I wonder how much more it costs! (Yes I understand it shouldn’t matter if it can save your home, belongings and so on, but I wonder if more can afford to build with this material.) I also wonder if something like that “baked potato” cabin stuff could be place on the outskirts of a wild fire to try and prevent it from spreading.
I used to live in a house mainly made of concrete. It looked ugly but It survived like 5 typhoons with no damage whatsoever lol. This was before I had wifi or a cell phone though, so I don't know how well that would've worked out.
Or you could build an earth home out of packed dirt and concrete reinforcement. Nice and fireproof, beautiful, you can plant a garden on your roof, tornado resistant, thermally insulated, etc etc....
1967 Mccormack Place Convention Center in Chicago; made of steel and concrete - no wood, leveled to the ground while one of the best fire departments in the country stood around and couldn't stop it from burning. Fire Proof?
We really need fo follow the Japanese playbook on adapting houses to environment and any known natural disasters. Most of the newer building in last 10 years over there is built to fend off much as possible from earthquakes and hurricanes. Usa should (they won’t cause of either money, companies don’t wanna a adapt and/or they don’t want Asian ideas.) update any newly build homes base on what common disaster they go through in each state. West coast is commonly this. Most southern and eastern coast is hurricanes and floods. Middle of usa of course is tornadoes and so on. Update the structure so that it can mitigate as much as possible damage from the disaster. Increases survivability and as leash most of the home is there so it can be rebuilt hopefully better and faster.
Indestructible. That seems also Very EXPENSIVE. Something that avg or bit lower income home owners wont be able to afford that easily. Why Not talk about pricing for these items.
Actually, if you look at the cost of cement board vs. particle board or laminated wood, the cement board probably wins in many cases. Wood is expensive. Why does your contractor not like it? Because he probably has to pre-drill holes and use screws as fasteners. He can't just shoot it on. Cutting it might also require more precautions... the workers can't breath the dust in.
Um..... that foam will burn faster and hotter than the wood they're no longer using. Even if it is fire resistant, once the fire is big enough the fire resistance doesn't matter any more.
They never said the cons to this type of structure 🤔. What happens during an earthquake, or tornado? What if it collapses ? What would the mortality rate look like 🧐?
So a concrete house, why yall not using that since before??? You don't even need insulation, plus you wont have to worry about changing dry wall or the wood breaking or burning
They call it a “baked potato” because that’s what happens to wild land fire fighters when they wrap up in their fire suits and wait for the fire to “pass” when they get surrounded.
every house should be built with this. would protect against fire and i’m sure rly help with a hurricane too.
@skankhunt42 I’m sure that’s not what she meant.

Wait you build your houses out of wood
I agree with you but it sadly costs more money
If you don’t want fire. don’t use dry wall. Use cement or mortar.
Well it's not drywall it's cement board
We use cement in my country, and if there's ever a fire in the house it will be contained in the room it started and you don't have to be afraid of losing your house.

yea lmfao, When she said concrete I'm like wadafak

Wow this is actually so smart! I wonder why we didn't make houses like these earlier!
Actually you did, all houses used to be concrete at some point, read 3 little pigs. Wooden houses in america is just to lower costs
-Tries to make fireproof house
-Makes oven
That's why the foam is there so the heat isn't conducted inside.

From what I understand it's only largely a issue recently because of lack of proper land management in certain states

This is how all houses should be made. I've been saying this for years.

We've had the technology for some time now. It more a matter of logistics and cost. Also building codes
my great uncle lives there. i hope he’s ok
Wait, you people still make house with flammable exterior paneling?
Is it floodproof and tornado 🌪 proof also? Someone else mentioned earthquakes too.
Floods and tornadoes don't happen in LA
Is there a website for this? I want to find out more.
It’s called an ICF house. Insulated Concrete Forms. It’s cheaper and better to build with.
Is there a way to prefab current homes?
This should be required for wildlife prone areas

Fireproof houe owner: my house is indestructible
German : laughs in Blitzkrieg
What sort of foam is that which won't ignite?
short answer: just build out of something that isn't wood
The foam on the outside of the bricks is concerning because polystyrene creates some of the most toxic fumes when burnt or heated

Why would anyone make a house of out wood. Everything in México is made from concrete
Someone else said that California suffers from earthquakes which affect concrete a lot worse than it affects wood.
When an earthquake happens in Mexico, how many collapse and crush people?
What about insulation heating cooling cost etc
