You build with locally available materials. In a forest timber is virtually free if you have a sawmill. Usually not all the forest will catch fire every year. You could build a house faced with refractory materials that would resist a forest fire, but it would be costly and environmentally unfriendly (assuming you can't quarry and process the materials locally). If I lived in a forest I'd maybe build a fire cellar, so I could stash my stuff then evacuate. It would be foolish to live in a fire-prone forest and not expect your house to burn down occasionally, and more foolish to try to save the house by not evacuating. But cool to live in a forest. |
