Burning down the house (a trial by fire)

Our scientists have 'flame-tested' a steel-framed house near Mogo on the NSW south coast to see how the structure would stand up to realistic bushfire conditions. Constructed almost entirely from steel and featuring a non-flammable roof cavity, the house may provide a straightforward and affordable building option for bushfire-prone areas. Fire researchers consider that a house constructed predominantly of steel should be able to survive in the flame zone of a real bushfire, assuming that windows or other external openings have not been breached. The concept is that the entire non-combustible building façade, insulation and frame acts to protect the habitable space. In this vodcast the test house undergoes a range of bushfire conditions, from ember attacks to engulfing the structure in flames.
