I've got a picture in my mind of a house looking like the top of a meringue pie.

Apparently a former fire chief living in Aurora, CO (East of Denver) had the same idea about five years ago. There was a fast moving prairie fire that was sweeping the plains out that way and he called up the local sales rep for this GelTech company. They did his house just in time and the fire swept by, over, around his house. The house survived. The insurance company was very pleased. They only had to pay for smoke damage. Unfortunately, nothing could be done with the pervasive odor and dangerous gasses of the gel.
I understand that he ended up having to demolish the house and build anew.
