Somewhere I made the analogy of the burning embers flowing around a dome, like snowflakes around the Aerocivic.

Here's a dome in a wind tunnel: 60 Quick-Build Homes That Will Blow Your Mind -- ?t=136. For six seconds.

Laminar flow harnessed for fire prevention.

Edit:
I've watched the rest of that video and there are some interesting options for disaster relief housing. Ten or a dozen different domes (fabric covers seem to be popular), and 10- 20- and 40-foot container [shaped] units that pop or fold out to two or three times the original footprint.

I think my favorite, since it is fast and DIY-able is PopYurta. Due to the bundlable design, the diameter will always be twice the wall height. There is an interesting pic at ?t=2656 that looks like the original Dymaxionh Dwelling unit than the PopYurts. That is shown at ?t=1520

Bet interior fit and finish goes to System 01 or Grande S1

From what I am hearing, the outside isn't necessarily flammable, it's the ventilation stuff that captures fire/embers and tends to hold them in a place. So, lacking a place to collect embers and get hot enough to burn, pretty much anything could work for a while. Ever burn a roof shingle? Trick is getting them lit, after that........

Otoh, a thin cedar shake that's 50 years old is super kindling for all the above reasons.
