Get Ready
Maintain your property before a fire occurs
- Trim, rake, or clear away anything within 5 to 30 feet or your home that could catch fire like mulch, tree limbs, pine needles, and dead leaves.
- Store away lawn furniture, potted plants, decor on patio and porches that could catch fire.
- Screen, seal, & close all windows, vents, pet doors, etc. so windborne embers don't have chance to blow in and burn your home from the inside out.
