In this episode of The Build Show, we confront the devastating reality of the LA wildfires, where over 12,000 homes were lost, but two stood strong. What set these homes apart? Join us as we uncover the critical design and building practices that enabled their survival. Explore defensible space strategies, fire-resistant materials, ventilation retrofits, and innovative techniques like wildfire defense mesh and Class A-rated roofing. We also take a moment to honor the bravery and dedication of the men and women on the front lines, tirelessly fighting to protect lives and communities.
