The recent Los Angeles fire has shown us how important it is to rebuild using fire-resistant materials and construction techniques. We all know that a house can't be entirely fireproof, but there are some things you can do to greatly increase the chances of your home surviving a conflagration. One of these strategies is fire hardening, which involves building with non-flammable materials like concrete fiber siding, tempered glass windows, and metal mesh vents. By using these materials, you reduce the risk of flames or embers entering your house and causing damage.Another strategy to make your home more resilient in case of a fire is to install sprinklers that can spray fire retardant to slow the spread of flames and protect your property from severe heat damage. In addition, consider adding soil and vegetation on top of your roof so that it doesn't catch fire easily when surrounded by wildfires.You don't have to live in an entirely fireproof house; small changes go a long way toward increasing its chances of survival during a wildfire event like we saw recently here in Los Angeles. By making these investments now, you'll be saving yourself money down the line since insurance costs tend not rise for houses deemed less susceptible than others due to their construction features alone

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
