Here are a few tips for keeping your house safe from wildfire this summer:
- Hardscape the perimeter of your home—sorry garden beds!
- Clear debris from gutters, roofs, and beneath your deck or other structures—it can act as kindling
- Install screens in vents and crawlspaces to prevent debris build-up or ignited materials from entering
- Prune vegetation back from structures by 30 feet—a lit branch can act like a bridge to your home for fire
