In this week's episode of The Build Show Podcast, Matt and Will King of High Cotton Homes go deep into the things a firefighter considers when building a home.

What part of a house has the most significant effect on a fire in the first ten minutes? It likely isn't what you think.

Will spent ten years in the fire service before becoming a full-time builder. Listen in and see how his service changed how he thinks about home building, about what the contents of a home can do to a fire, and how this has changed over the decades.

He and Matt also discuss how our modern floor plans affect home fires and how building codes and new tech can help save lives.
