Yes, I've heard that from a couple sources. Youtube has
some videos about "light weight construction". The homes
of now days are loaded with plastic and truss frame
construction. They go fast, hot, and collapse earlier
than the homes of years gone by.

The home owner or passerby on the spot int he first
minutes with a FE can be the difference between a mess
and a total loss.

The fire department women and men are world's finest
people, and they are also often several minutes away,
in the days of staff shortages, volunteer departments,
and congested roads.

Hi,
Another thing to keep in mind is todays' newly built houses burn 8 times
faster than older houses which were built with more natural materials.
They are talking about changing the code so even private residential
single houses built with sprinklers.
