A low cost SprayHose can save homes from wildfire. Also, systems to protect neighborhoods, confine prescribed fires, & move water long distances. US & Canadian patents. Free nozzle samples. RT, Follow, Help?
Claim: the new codes would add five percent to a home's price, tens of thousands Those numbers didn't make sense to Sartain. He had surveyed Ashland home builders, who said, for a starter home, the added cost would be between roughly $1,200 and $1,700 So Oregon HBA is lying.
Please let’s not pretend that any effort to change building codes whatsoever is met with the Hugh and cry of lobbyists going “WAAHH! Mean government regulation expensive expensive expensive expensive!” so nothing ever changes.
Fireproof houses: wasn’t that the premise for Fahrenheit 451?
Rebuilding After A Wildfire? Most States Don't Require Fire-Resistant Materials
Can. Stupid. Be. Fixed.?
Sounds like what people do after floods.
How about dont build in wildfire prone areas, or flood zones, or mudslide zones.
So, stupid is as it waits on Govt controls? Building codes go according to regions. Like houses on stilts in Southeastern Gulf States. Duh!
Major Wildfires
Bushfires have changed the building firecodes in Aus, much like earthquakes change building codes on fault lines. It’s a hard price to pay, but far cheaper than the alternative
Fire resistant materials don’t matter when the home owners fail to maintain defensive space.
I’m looking forward to building my dream home. Fire resistant, up cycled, green, zero net carbon footprint. This should be required for all fire prone areas.
Lmao democrats just let their cities burn, wether from wildfires they can’t control or your local BLM protest 🤡
Building code mean higher prices everything turns on money cost Not safety and there is no reason since economy circular key os the ratio proportion of wages costs
Haven't these fires been taking place for years?
All states should require net zero housing Zero carbon emissions Go wind Go geothermal Go solar Go carbon neutral
