As you know, wild fires happen every year.  Below I list a few pointers that you need to apply in order to protect your home.

  • Remove dead vegetation from around your home.

 

  • Clear areas between trees and shrubs near your home.

 

  • Create separations between plants on the ground and low-hanging tree branches.

 

  • Maintain a defensible space zone around your home that extends at least 30 feet from your home.

Make sure your address is visable to locate your home.  Keep rain gutters, decks, porches and roofs free of leaves, needles and other debris.
