With all the rain we have had, the hills are in full bloom with wild flowers, the grass is long and there is plenty of snow pack to help fill the lakes. The rain was long overdue and it is good to see sunshine once again.
With the beautiful new growth, the summer and fall will most likely be another bad fire season. However, you can start preparing now!
There are several steps you can take to help prepare your home for fire season. These and many more are recommended by FEMA, National Fire Protection Association and Cal Fire with links to their sites for reference.
Close the open eaves on the edge of your roof. (link)
Clear out bushes and shrubs that are close to your home. (link)
Trim up the trees so there are no low lying limbs and make sure there are no limbs hanging over your roof. (link)
These are just a few things you can do to help you prepare for the upcoming fire season. Sometimes the best offense is a strong defense.
