I've seen fires skip valleys miles wide.

Are you suggesting we build houses inside concrete cubes with walls 10 m thick?

I’m suggesting you don’t build them out of chemically treated wood that sparks into a blaze the moment a single ember lands on them.

I don’t think that’s a very hard thing to do. I’d send you the blog post I read on the topic, but I can’t find it again :(
