Not necessarily, those houses are mostly made of stones, cement and other similar materials. Only the roof structure and some other internal structures would use wood, which means a fire would spread much slower than if those were built like american wooden houses.
But having such a densly populated town with no parks or any open space still isnt safe right?
I live in new york, which is very densly populated, but the city has a lot of open space so fires cant spread too much
And most american houses are made out of concrete or brick
I believe most American homes are made from wood and drywall.
There's a fair amount of brick in them, too.
Most in cities are cement, brick and various metals
No lol. Like they literally have way less flammable materials in their homes. The sea air would damage anything flammable over time, too. Best not to have it in the first place.
