#019 - In Australia, many areas around the country are bushfire-prone, and Tom Coupe is the perfect person to talk about bushfire resilience and tiny homes.

Tom is a construction artist from Victoria. He has been working in the Tiny House industry for 7 years, and for 4 years he has been focusing on building bushfire-resilient Tinys.

Tom has lived Tiny, lived off-grid, and spent most of his life living in and around bushfire zones and fire-affected communities. He has recently displayed some of his work at both the Sydney and Melbourne Tiny Homes Expo’s and can be found online under the name TC Tiny.

In this conversation we talk about:

• What materials, methods, and fireproof measures make a tiny house bushfire resilient
• Materials that Tom doesn’t recommend using in a tiny house for bushfire resistance
• Fireproofing strategies outside the tiny home and on surrounding land
• Common misconceptions around bushfire resilience
• The demographic of people who should consider living in bushfire-resistant homes… and more!
