Why This House Survived When 96 Others Burned to Ash

In August 2023, 96 homes in Bastrop County, Texas burned to the ground. But one house stood untouched—a 3D-printed concrete home built by robots in under 48 hours. This isn't science fiction. It's the quiet revolution happening in America's fire zones right now. While insurance companies abandon entire states and 6.8 million homes sit in extreme wildfire hazard zones, a handful of companies are printing fireproof houses that can survive what traditional construction can't. But there's a problem: the same technology that costs $450,000 in Texas is being sold for $850,000+ in California fire zones. And insurance companies are creating a three-tier coverage system that's pricing millions of homeowners out of the market entirely.
