Protect Your Property
Research shows that embers and small flames are the largest threat to igniting a home in a wildfire. Embers are burning pieces of airborne wood and/or vegetation that can be carried more than a mile through the wind and cause spot fires and ignite homes, debris and other objects.
There are three aspects to preparing your home: creating a defensible space by reducing fuels around your home, home hardening by using non-combustible building materials and reducing risks inherent to your home, and using fire-wise landscaping to make it harder for fires to spread.
By applying smart practices around your home, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of losing your home to a wildfire.
