Yeah, well, metal, but...

Yeah, that makes sense. If your porch is wooden, you have a porch, you don't want fire to get underneath it. And so you can keep your wooden porch, but you want to screen off underneath of it to keep flaming debris from going under there. And then if you have a wooden fence, consider... having the first 10 feet or so of the fence be brick or something like that, I can't afford this.

But imagine you can. Then you would want the first chunk of it to be that way. If you have gates, you open them. The deal with fences and everything is that you don't want a wick that brings fire to your house. So if the forest around you is burning, you don't want it to catch your fence and have that go right up to under the eaves, catch the eaves on fire, and now you have a structure fire.

So what you're going to do... as you open the gates if you're leaving. And then, for example, my plan, because I have a wooden fence that goes all the way up to my house, is that if I have more than like five minutes to flee a fire, if I have a half an hour to flee a fire, I am taking the chainsaw and I am cutting down about 10 feet of that wooden fence before I leave.

And that should dramatically increase the chances that my house will survive a fire. Yeah, smart move. And... And then another thing with the pool thing, and it's a thing I've read about, but there's no version of my life where I'm ever going to have a pool. If you live in a fire-prone area, they actually make pumps that are designed to pump your pool water into a fire hose.

And they have saved a lot of rural areas, and probably city areas too, by having that accessible to firefighters immediately. Your pool can become a resource for the people who are coming in to try and keep your house intact.
