How to Protect Your Family & Home From Wildfires

Fire risk is a huge concern August  – October! ? These months can be hot, dry and windy in Sonoma County. Now is a GREAT time to put together an emergency kit (see image below for ideas) and to come up with an evacuation plan for your family and pets.

We also recommend  implementing informed landscape practices, and creating zones of defensible space. This will  help ensure your property is more fire resilient, beautiful and a safer habitat for wildlife. 

Most house fires are caused by flying embers, not oncoming walls of flames. Embers that land on or near your house can easily ignite plants, mulch, dry leaves or stored items.
