[QUOTE="10Seconds, post: 2371246, member: 24432"] Im at work so cant respond to everything but that site that states new construction would burn faster is just absurd. Modern building codes are much more stringent, and the fireblocking we put in now and materials we use is specifically designed to prevent the spread of fires. New home vs 40 yr old home, the new one wins: frame fireblocks, insulation wont burn, firerated drywall, and maybe doors depending on location, more likely to have comp vs wood shingles, etc. Oklahomabassin hits the nail on the head - the key is detection and the time it takes you to get out.
