Wildfire will find the weakest links in the defense measures you have taken on your property. Even small steps to protect your home and property will make them more able to withstand fire. Consider these measures for all areas of your property, not just the immediate vicinity of the house.
Fire is capricious.
It can find the weak link in your home's fire protection scheme and gain the upper hand because of a small, overlooked or seemingly inconsequential factor. While you may not be able to accomplish all measures below, each will increase your home's, and possibly your family's, safety. Start with the easiest and least expensive actions. Begin your work closest to your house and move outward. Keep working on the more difficult items until you have completed your entire project.
