Defend Your Home Against Wildfires
Every year many families lose their homes and possessions to the ravages of wildfire. These losses can be minimized if homeowners take the time and trouble to become aware of safety measures to help protect their homes. By following these fire safety guidelines,
you can reduce the risk of losing your home to wildfire.
Use noncombustible or fire resistant building materials, especially on the roof.
Install chimney screen or spark arrestor. Clean your chimney at least once a year. Have it inspected for an accumulation of soot or creosote.
Clean your roof surfaces and gutters regularly to avoid accumulation of leaves, twigs, pine needles, and other flammable materials.
Store firewood and all other combustible away from your home.
Keep your yard well-trimmed and free from debris. Have a 30-foot non-combustible fire break surrounding your home.
Be sure you have your driveway accessible and well marked for emergency vehicles.
