BBC: ‘I said to myself, dirt doesn’t burn’: The people rebuilding their homes with earth
The article explores how people are rebuilding fire-resistant homes using earth-based materials, such as adobe and compressed earth blocks, after wildfires destroyed their previous houses. These materials are naturally fire-resistant, sustainable, and help regulate indoor temperatures. The article also discusses the increasing interest in earth-based construction due to its environmental benefits and potential to offer more durable housing in areas at high risk of wildfires.
