Dry summer weather brines increased danger from wildfire to homes that interface with forest and rangeland. Every year since 1985, more than 300 homes have been destroyed by wildfires. Many of these homes could have been saved had simple precautions been taken before wildfire struck. The most effective fire prevention device yet invented is a fire safe attitude. While fire insurance might replace property destroyed in a fire, there is no insurance available to replace human life. . . yours, your family's, or your neighbors. With a positive fire prevention attitude and by following preventive measures suggested, you can enjoy your wildland home with confidence. The following information can assist you in making the necessary decisions that could prevent orreduce losses due to wildfire. A. Roofing is made of non combustible materials, (sheet metal, cement, shingle, tile slate). B. Trees have been trimmed away from the roof. C. Plants are low growing and less flammable, (flowers, vegetable garden, etc.) D. Flammables are stored away from the house, (wood piles, old cars, dry grass, paints, gasoline). E. Yard is well trimmed and free of debris that will carry fire. F. Roof and gutters should be cleaned of leaves and pine needles. G. A 30 foot non-combustible fire break surrounds your home, (limb trees, cut brush, pick-up trash). H. An adequate escape route for residence and alternate route is available. continued from page 1 1.
