Creating a Wildfire Defensible Space for Your Home


We have seen so many tragedies this past year due to wildfire’s particularly in the western portion of the United States. Taking steps now to protect your home from fire risk is a great way to lower the chance of loss when wildfire threatens the next time. I found an excellent article on the web provided by CalFire. I thought it was so well written and so important that I wanted to share with you. Visit the site at: http://www.readyforwildfire.org/defensible_space


Everyone should consider their wildfire risk regardless if they have faced wildfires in the past. In so many instances, fires have occurred in the past three years where wildfires traditionally had not been a problem. We have noted wildfires in the southeast, Texas, southwest and most all of the western states. In this case, an ounce of fire prevention is worth far more than a pound of cure!
