To anyone who can assist us!

We are a technical enquiry service for appropriate technologies. We have received a question for which we seek assistance.

Our enquirer works in Cameroun. His problem is that wooden poles for power lines are accasionally destroyed by local bush fires. Are there any environmentally sound, affordable means known to treat the poles to make them bush fire resistant.

Any ideas are appreciated.
