Summary edit

Description
English: In April 2010, researchers from CSIRO tested the effectiveness of a 'fire-proof' house to see how the structure would withstand 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. The test house is a small low-rise building approximately 8 m x 4 m x 5 m high and includes most of the features of a domestic house. It consists of an elevated steel framed floor, steel wall framing with steel cladding and plasterboard lining and a steel truss roof with steel roof sheeting and a plasterboard ceiling. It includes steel fascia and various soft linings. The side that faced the fire front has two windows and a door.
