Have you seen what these fires do?! Your metal exterior surface will become a puddle of metal, and your masonry fence will be a pile of rubble.

A house built this way famously survived a fire in California a few years back.

Some friends of mine built a house this way in Montana, and the firefighters told them that if all Montanans built their wilderness homes that way, their job would be a lot easier.

You can find a lot of information on this by googling for "fire resistant home".
