From the article…

Since straw bales are tightly packed, they do not burn as easily as certain other materials. The tight packing reduces airflow, something that is critical to sustain a fire. While there is some fire risk during the construction phase (as is the case with many building materials), once the home is finished, it’s flame retardant nature decreases the risk, usually resulting in a home that better resists burning than a traditional stick built house.

"...better than a traditional stick built house"

I'm thinking of brick, what do we think folks? Seems like we have three possible building materials with one clear winner amirite?

I don't see how brick is the "one clear winner".

A straw and clay house is better insulated and you need no cement. It has pros and cons.

Try taking out Big Bad Wolf insurance in a stick house bud

I live in center Europe, here people don't insure houses.
