Instead of insuring the rebuild after a fire, it is in everyone’s best interest to find ways to prevent homes from burning down.

Can concrete homes built by 3D printers be far behind?
These fires should lead to a rapid expansion of private firefighting, and while we’re at it, private police/security should be a booming industry too.
