November 2006

The home of Sonja Biggers, located at 5406 Smackover Highway, was selected the November 2006 Arkansas FireWise Home of the Month.

David Samuel, Arkansas FireWise Coordinator, nominated the home following a trip to Union County.

The Biggers home was constructed six years ago. It is made of concrete and Styrofoam so it can withstand a variety of natural disasters — including wildfire.

The structure is surrounded with an immense defensible space, as well as a large pond that circles halfway around the front of the home.
