Homeowners can play an important role in making key choices that help protect their homes against wildfire risks.
Wildfire embers, or fire brands, can be blown up to 2 miles away from the main wildfire, and land on vulnerable areas of your home and surrounding property. Making smart choices about landscaping, removing debris like pine needles and leaves, and establishing clearance zones can help keep your home safer from wildfire.
Science has proven that taking precautions like these can make a difference when your home is at risk from wildfire.
