I found a much better article (5 page PDF) from the fire prevention expert quoted in this article, which details his method of prioritizing building fire-safe homes and dispels misconceptions of how wildfire spreads to homes:

- dumbmrblah 2y agoThank you, the original article had very little actual practical information, or substance at all.
- freddie_mercury 2y agoThe 2020 Australia Royal Commission on bushfire prevention is a good resource, too. There are tons of things that could be done. Virtually none are being done nowadays, much less retrofitted to existing structures. Bushfire prevention via design is essentially in its infancy, much like earthquake safe designs took decades to become widespread in California after the 1933 quake. It wasn't like structures built in the 40s had "learned the lessons" and were earthquake proof. It has taken the better part of a century to get there.

- rawgabbit 2y agoThanks for the article. So it looks like quarter sized embers are the most likely cause of many fires.
