How We Prep for Wildfires - Prevention, Protection and Escape
Preparing a home to be more resistant to wildfires isn't complex. But it does require some effort and due diligence to implement preventative measures. In the video I cover defensible space, tree/vegetation maintenance, fire breaks and the importance of having clean gutters. I also address what we do in the event that there is a wildfire in our area, from preparations of leaving our home to circumstances in which we might consider staying.
And it SHOULD go without saying, but NOTHING is guaranteed, and obviously there are circumstances when no amount of preparation and defensive measures will help..... and in those cases you should ALWAYS err on the side of caution and leaving to a place of safety.
As is life, nothing is guaranteed.... BUT, we can and should take steps to implement preventative strategies and protect our homes BEFORE a wildfire is imminent.
