Most people who own homes also have homeowner's insurance. Among other things, these policies cover the house in case of fire. Consider two homeowners (Chris and Leslie) whose house is in a forest. They can take actions to reduce the risk of fire; keeping fire extinguishers handy, clearing brush and trees to a "defensible perimeter," and removing leaves and branches from the roof are fairly standard strategies. More extreme measures include installing a fire- resistant roof. The graph below shows the marginal cost and marginal benefit curves.
