You can improve your wildfire preparedness in just one hour. Taking simple steps now helps protect your home and family when wildfire season arrives.
Start by cutting dry grass and weeds around your property. Removing these fuels lowers the chance that fire can spread close to your home.
Next, clear away combustible materials near your house. This includes woodpiles, leaves, and other debris that could catch fire easily.
Check your vents to see if they have screens or covers that block embers. Embers can enter through vents and ignite your home from the inside.
Review your evacuation routes. Make sure you know multiple ways out of your neighborhood in case one road is blocked by fire.
Update your go-bag with essentials like water, medications, and important documents. Confirm that your family emergency plans are clear and everyone knows what to do.
Taking these actions now can reduce your risk and help firefighters protect your property. What steps have you already taken to prepare for wildfire season? Could you commit one hour today to improve your safety?
