If you are concerned about fire, why not install a fire supression system. They are fairly simple to design and if you are familiar with pex plumbing, they are easy to install. This is a good manual to get you started:

I have been looking into fire supression because our county is requiring them on all major subdivision plans that are not located within designated fire districts. A fire supression system helps to keep your family safe, can lower your home owner's insurance, and is a very good idea if you are more than 10 minutes from a fire station. And unlike as Hollywood portrays, a fire sprinkler system doesn't come on as a whole, each sprinkler is triggered by heat and then once the fire is out, the owner turns off the water system. On average a sprinkler system only uses about 350 gallons of water to extinguish a fire, whereas a fire truck on average will put down almost 3,000 gallons to extinguish a fire which can lead to a lot more cleanup after the fire. If I were to build a new house, I would definately look into a fire sprinkler system.

You can get fire rated paint that will slow the spread of fire, also ruff sawn wood will light easier and spread faster.

I was a firefighter for 10 years. I was called to a total of ZERO fires that were burning on Fire Dept arrival in fully sprinkled buildings. In sprinklered buildings I've seen plenty of fires that were out when we got there.

Sprinklers are amazing tools.

Reminds me of the tale grand dad told about a neighbor wanting cupboards. Was going to buy a cow, a separator and a churn to make butter for sale. Until her father-in-law told her to forget about all that and just spend the money for the cupboards.
