Unlike other natural disasters…
the level of community resilience to wildfire has an out sized impact on neighboring structures.

While it’s easy to think of wildfire as a wall of flames,
what sparks the majority of wildfires is something smaller than the size of a pea - an ember. All it takes is 1 ember to spread wildfire damage especially if you are not prepared.

Our goal
Our goal is to make sure that every resident knows what actions they can take to reduce their wildfire risk and help them to take action.
1. Remove vegetation in Zone 0
2. Replace vents to prevent ember entry
3. Remove attached combustible fence/gate
4. Limb or cut back overhanging trees
5. Remove combustible mulch
