    Interesting,

    Building on stilts, good for flooding, bad for fire. Pretty crappy trade off.

    Though, if the stilts were concrete with 2-4hr fire resistant undersides this might help the fire “pass underneath” the house and not “climb up” the concrete stilts. It would also provide some time to evacuate in the event of failure.
