Fireproof your existing house with Earth Bags! And Defend your neighborhood with...
This HAS TO BE already going strong, somewhere, right?? All you have to do is fill "Earth Bags" around (giving air between?) your existing house to protect it and your life from wild fires!! (Along with 1/8 mesh in your attic vents, i understand!)
Check this out!
The documentaries i've seen about EARTH BAG housing show how they can build at a lean and even domes, using various "molds" underneath. Well, imagine being able to do such upon your EXISTING HOUSE! And IMAGINE THAT being able to WITHSTAND A DIRECT WILDFIRE!! !!
Of course, one needs to slather on, over the Earth Bags, a mix of mud, etc. to make adobe. Someone said it was 7 parts dirt and 3 parts water, but do your own Due Diligence, please!!
In addition to this possibly crucial self-defense, how about if FIVE-HUNDRED TO ONE THOUSAND people could get together (in various neighborhoods), agreeing to become 3-person teams to directly fend off their neighborhoods from encroaching wildfires (especially when official firefighters are overwhelmed, etc.)!!
"BUT HOW?" you ask? WELL, perhaps the following scenario will spark your creative intelligence MUCH FURTHER than mine:
Using strong but stretchy fabric and/or bungee chords (OR?) to make improvized, giant slingshots!! Launching off BALLED BAKING SODA cakes!! (OR?) (Could be later recovered and re-used!!) FIVE-HUNDRED TEAMS LAUNCHING BAKING SODA CAKES AT A FIRE, IMAGINE THAT!! Or ONE THOUSAND!!
