Will a Cob House Burn? 🔥 Testing Cob vs Fire!

I made this video a few weeks ago.

This video explores the fire resistance of cob houses compared to traditional wood-framed homes. Cob does not burn, and neither the straw in the wall due to the lack of air within the wall, making it a safer option in the event of a fire. Cob has also passed 2-hour fire rating tests, demonstrating its ability to withstand high temperatures and maintain structural integrity.
