I had a storm cellar put in because of the propensity of the area to have tornadoes. If these folks are so rich, what would it take to build a house that could sustain one of those fires? Enough money would give a solution to that problem IMHO.

Cinder blocks and concrete then you clear out the dead brush and infested dying trees. Got a tree sitter at the top of the tree protesting? Just start up the ol’ chain saw and start cuttin’.

How bout a cinder block and concrete house with stucco outside and a fire proof roof of slate and our new fire proof composite materials? Then one could landscape it properly for fire also. It might still be destroyed but you would have a much better chance of not losing the family photos. Better yet , put out a contract on anyone in the enviro movement, so one can cut a tree and or underbrush. Once that is done, we might even drill for some oil, of which we have a lot of but can’t touch.

Building out of concrete would be the first step, also they more then have enough money to install a high power sprinkler system to wet their homes and lawn during a wildfire.

Of course us smart folk, don't build homes in a wildfire zone or on a floodplain.

I saw an ad for a fire retardant that was the same chemical that the airplanes drop on the fires. There were small nozzles installed on the roof and around the house and the chemical was sprayed on. If I had a house in fire country I’d have that installed immediately.
