I have always thought it might be possible to have a chemical foam system built into houses.

All you would need is a few holes along the roof ridge, some piping, and a powerful pump with a generator in the basement. When the fire gets close, flip a switch and cover your house with thick foam in a few minutes.

Should be doable for a couple of thousand.

Look at how the Spanish settlers who first came to California built their homes.Solid masonry walls and thick tiled roofs.You could throw a burning couch on the roof and not set fire to the house.Now it’s stylish to have wooden shake roofs and the houses catch fire instantly.
