Explanation:
Light frame construction material provides the least amount of
protection against fire and forcible entry attempts. It is composed of untreated
lumber that would be combustible during a fire. Light frame construction material is
usually used to build homes, primarily because it is cheap, but also because homes
typically are not under the same types of fire and intrusion threats that office
buildings are.
