Jake Bruton visits a mountain home project with special guest and Build Show expert Stephanie Dailey to discuss practical wildfire-resistant building strategies in high-risk areas. Their conversation covers how thoughtful site planning, defensible space, exterior fire suppression, and fire-rated wall and roof assemblies work together to improve resilience without sacrificing design goals. Jake and Stephanie also explain the role of heavy timber construction, fiber cement cladding, specialized sheathing, and other building materials that help meet wildfire standards while keeping construction efficient. Throughout the project, they focus on balancing building science, durability, and real-world construction methods for homes in wildfire-prone environments.
