The Homeowner's Guide to Wildfire Prevention

By Robert Sieben

Once a major wildfire is burning, it's too late for fire prevention and sometimes beyond the efforts of firefighters. That's why the most important person preventing a house from burning is the homeowner. If you live in an area threatened by wildfires, here are the most important steps you can take to preserve your home. - Install an automatic gas shut off valve.- Ember-proof your home.- Keep decks clear. - Create and maintain a non-ignition zone adjacent to your house.- Remove junipers from your property.- Take advantage of the wet season for vegetation management.- Provide both vertical and horizontal spacing between plants and trees.Your fire insurance will not replace the time, anguish, valued personal items, or loss of community that occurs when your house burns down. The Homeowner's Guide to Fire Prevention provides information that may save your home.
