US residents choose earth blocks for building houses to protect themselves from fires
In response to the threat of wildfires, Americans are increasingly building houses out of fireproof earth blocks. Earthen structures consisting of a mixture of mud, limestone and water help to prevent destruction in case of fires, while at the same time providing comfortable conditions in any weather. This sustainable construction method is gaining popularity after the devastating fires in Hawaii and Colorado.
Amid the growing threats of wildfires, residents of the United States are increasingly turning to building houses from earth blocks. This method uses a mixture of mud, limestone and water to create durable and fireproof blocks that help protect homes from fire. Earthen structures also have natural thermal insulation properties, keeping cool in summer and warm in winter, which makes them comfortable and energy efficient. The popularity of such houses has especially increased after large-scale fires in Hawaii and Colorado, which destroyed thousands of homes and forced Americans to look for safer construction options.
