The key was to not have combustible stuff on or close to the walls: “But Michael Wara, the director of the Climate and Energy Policy Program at the Stanford Wood Institute for the Environment, said it was likely the Millikins’ decision to dig out the existing landscaping directly surrounding the house and replace it with river stones that made the biggest difference. “What folks in the wildfire business call the zone zero or the ember ignition zone, is kind of a key factor in whether homes do or do not burn down,” Wara said. Having nothing combustible in the 5 feet directly around a house is enormously important.” [0: https://www.civilbeat.org/2023/08/what-saved-the-miracle-house-in-lahaina https://www.civilbeat.org/2023/08/what-saved-the-miracle-hou... ]
