It's up to government to get to work on standardized building codes for wildfires.

It also comes to money to fire-proof homes. More expensive materials to build homes up to code for protection from wildfires.
Costs for construction would go up.

In the end, people are gonna pay more money for homes that are built to code for wildfires.

I assume that it's also amendments to local bylaws to have building codes for wildfires.

I think this concept that we can build a "fire-proof" home is preposterous. Is any home going to be livable with all that fire + smoke damage?
