While there's no such thing as a fire-proof home, one home located in Chino Hills might be as close to one as you can possibly get.
Over the past year and a half, homeowner O.P. Almaraz made many alterations to his home on Rock Ridge Way. Consequently, it's the first home to get the Wildfire Prepared Home Plus designation from the non-profit Insurance Institute for Business"I live right along the hillside, and anyone who lives along that area is eventually going to be evacuated," said Almaraz. "So, I decided you know what, I'm going to protect my home as best I possibly could.
"The wall, the shutters, the garage doors, all of the features on the house are non-combustible," said Anne Cope of the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety. "Most Californians already have a class A roof. You can install mesh over your attic vents to keep the embers out."
