Ready to build more of these (see attached).
#1 vector for fire to start on a home in a wildfire, dry vegetation in the gutters.
#2 is the exposed rafters under the eaves of the roof. Even if you have fireproof walls (concrete or hardiplank), and fireproof roof surface (metal or tile), you can still get those rafters going and it spreads to the attic and then the house is toast. You can treat that zone with fire retardant, will buy you some time.
The most fire resistant structure I can imagine, without going to the extremes of a dome like I did, would be cinderblock with a metal roof AND metal roof trusses.
