How to Save Your Home From a Wildfire
Small improvements to the roof, siding, windows, and vents of your house can make a big difference when threatened by the risk of flames.
Here are a few guidelines the National Fire Protection Association recommends, both to reduce the chance of flames reaching your home and make it easier for firefighters to defend it. Replacing them with nonflammable materials or installing a thin sheet of metal on the house where the siding touches a wooden deck or fence can help protect the home. You can contact your local emergency management office or community wildfire nonprofit to learn more about grant funding that can offset the costs of pruning and removing trees on a forested property.
