Sheds designed to protect valuables even as all else burns in wildfire

When a wildfire comes home, there is little time to escape and less time is taken to think about what to take in those panic times.
By introducing new products to the market, the inventors have found that important items are kept in small buildings that are not burned even if the walls of fire consume all others on the street, so time and assets I think that it saves.
Steve Combill, President of Los Angeles-based M - Fire Suppression, says: The company plans to sell various sheds under the Mighty Fire Breaker.
On Tuesday morning a demo was held at a parking lot next to the San Diego Fire Drill Training Center near Lindbergh Stadium.
A prototype of a 4 x 8 foot building filled with "valuable items" such as one of three different huts, surfboards, paintings, scooters
A fire burned for a few minutes, and some weather allowed the several flames to enter the hut and some weather was peeled off at the bottom of the steel door. Peeling was not erroneously treated with refractory coating. The convoy said that this will never happen again.
However, there was no real harm. When the door is open, all the valuables are still in good condition, and the thermometer shows that the temperature inside the cabin is only 74 degrees.
There are many huts and buildings that provide fire protection on the market, but these new huts are designed with forest fires in mind, including the strong winds associated with them.
The carpet resident living in Carlsbad stated that the roof can withstand 150 miles per hour and got the idea after seeing fire victims in Santa Rosa last year. Some people said he did not have enough time, and almost all they had was said to have been lost.
Jeff Bowman of former San Diego fire department chief attended the demonstration. He said he was considering a spokesperson and a consultant of Mighty Fire Breaker, but he has not promised yet
"We've seen many products over the years, but these are the best," says Bowman about the hut and other products that the company produces, such as painting a layer of mud when a fire occurs. Passed
"I am excited about these possibilities," Bowman said. "We have to take a different approach, which proved last year."
The largest shed is sold for $ 11, 950, but the 4 x 8 hut and a little smaller garage shed are sold for $ 5,995.
The hut is not designed to save human life. Only when the last breather wants to jump into a cabin when a flame is approaching, the convoy and Bowman say when either oxygen device is inside.
California 's 2017 wildfire season is the most devastating wildfire season recordfully and many California forest fires occurred. According to California Forest Fire Bureau, 1,381,405 acres (5,590.35 sq. Km) of fire occurred in total of 9,133 fire. Five of them are the most devastating wasteland in the province - 20 fire on urban boundary. Through 2017, the fire destroyed or damaged more than 10,000 buildings in the state (destruction of 9,470, damage of 810), higher than the total for the past nine years. According to national data, 43 people were killed by a large wildfire fire - 41 civilians and 2 firefighters - almost more than the total over the past 10 years.
In 2015, 887 forest fires burned California. This is an increase of about 1,000 from the previous year's total. Overall, 893,362 acres of land were destroyed by state-wide fire. Like all the buildings in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, Atlanta, San Francisco, Seattle, trees and grassland are burned. The west is always a place where fires are likely to occur, and the combination of hot and dry summer and vast forests provides perfect fuel supply. The record of charcoal sedimentation shows that as the settlers went west the burning slowed and again increased between the 15th and 17th centuries. Until the beginning of the 20th century, with the development of new fire management methods, flame frequency disappears. Previously, only when the fire broke out the fire had gone,
