Despite advancements in technology and stricter building codes, firefighters are sounding the alarm about how fast it takes a newly constructed home to burn down in a fire. "Your home is perfectly safe, but your home is not designed to burn," Apex Fire Chief Keith McGee told the ABC11 I-Team. "Therefore whenever it is on fire and firefighters have to enter it, it is more dangerous on us trying to combat the fire, not to mention you have to get out faster because of the speed at which the fire grows is so much faster today than yesterday." The Triangle has seen a glut of new builds in the housing market - more than 40,000 since 2010 just in Wake County, with Apex and Wake Forest seeing the most growth.
