OTHER FIRE SAFETY TIPS:
• Know your local contacts for wildfire information. During wildfire season, follow the relevant Facebook community pages and bookmark the fire department’s information page. Post pertinent phone numbers on the fridge or other visible location. • If you’re due for a new roof, consider non- flammable materials such as metal, slate, or clay. If using asphalt shingles, find the fire rating and consider treating the roof for fire resistance. • Around the outside of the home, replace bark with gravel, concrete, or rubber. • Never leave outdoor barbecues, campfires, and burn piles unattended, and always have a charged hose and/or fire extinguisher nearby. Protecting your family and property against the threat of fire is less about major investments and more about vigilance. With a practiced plan and supplies in place, you’ll be ready if the unexpected happens.
