Building Developments Mean Expensive Fire Season – Why not require concrete log homes?

The USDA releases a report today, saying homes built near national forests are major contributors to the need for a larger fire budget.

That means, as more homes are built near forests, the less money the forest service has to spend on things like maintaining campgrounds and habitat restoration.

It takes copious amounts of resources to protect a home from impending fire, compared to a forest, which can be left to burn on its own.

And as suburbia grows closer to the woods– the cost to protect those homes is also growing.

USING EVERLOG CONCRETE LOG PRODUCTS IN WILDFIRE PRONE AREAS

In 2003, over 4000 homes in the United States were destroyed by wildfires. And again this year (2014) wildfires in California and Arizona have already been particularly devastating. Our concrete log homes are non-combustible and have a minimum 3 hour fire rating. Not only do our concrete log homes provide superior fire protection, insurance companies provide our home owners with preferential insurance ratings resulting in lower homeowners insurance costs. Homeowners insurance is generally a minimum of 20% less costly than comparable frame or log homes. These savings increase in wildland urban interface areas.
