It's this: https://www.designboom.com/technology/wildfires-protect-homes-fire-blanket-forest-fires-11-05-2019/
That is an interesting article and a decent explanation but if that is what they're doing in the pic wouldn't you expect it to cover the walls as well?
Those walls are stone and brick. The roof is probably wood shingle. The biggest danger in that situation is embers landing on the roof anyway. If the wall of fire gets to your house, the blanket might help a little , but probably not.
