Steel framing can be an important part of a fire-resilient building design.
Because steel does not burn, it eliminates one potential source of combustible structural material. When combined with non-combustible exterior cladding, fire-rated assemblies, tempered glazing, ember-resistant detailing, and defensible landscaping, a steel-framed home can provide significantly improved resilience in wildfire-prone regions.
While no building can be described as "fireproof," thoughtful design using non-combustible materials can greatly improve fire performance.
