Are You Ready?
Becoming ready for wildfire starts with maintaining defensible space around your property, hardening your home, and planning to evacuate in case of an emergency.
Defensible Space
Adequate defensible space acts as a barrier to slow or halt the progress of fire that would otherwise engulf your property and helps ensure the safety of firefighters defending your home.
