Wildfire Safety: Home Maintenance
Did you know that most home ignitions are caused by embers? You can protect your home from wildfire by doing three simple things:
- Clean out your gutters.
- Check your vents to make sure the screening is 1/8” or 1/16” wire mesh.
- Clear combustibles such as leaves and firewood from under decks.
15-30 minutes of work can save your home! We think that’s worth it, how about you? For more information go to www.firesafemarin.org.
