There have been many devastating wildfires in recent years. While you might think that this could never happen to you, with climate changing rapidly, wildfires have ravaged areas that formerly hadn’t experienced such problems.
What can you do to make sure that even if there were to be a wildfire near your home, the damage is minimized? You need to remove anything that can fuel a wildfire. It’s important to remember that some materials that don’t burn that well normally can turn into fuel if heated sufficiently. Plastic when melted can make a fire burn much hotter and faster. Leaves that pile up around a fence will burn very quickly, and any old wood left around will also feed a fire.
Keep the area around your house clean, as well as, the gutters on your house. This will be a good protection against wildfires. Most importantly, don’t risk your life to save your home. If all your preparation fails, be ready to leave your home quickly, if necessary.
