PROCRASTINATORS BEWARE! IT’S NOT TOO LATE…

You’ve already been working hard all spring. But there is more to do and wildfire season IS HERE! ​If you focus on these three things in June, you’ll be more ready!  Here are three flyers, with practical tips and actions to take now. Share them with your neighbors, family, friends and Firewise Community! 

​

Embers are Your Enemy! Make your Zone 0 squeaky clean! Stop them from attacking and invading your home.  (Download flyer in Print Version - White background)

 

Caulk the gaps (garages, windows, siding). Put in new weather stripping around your doors if you can see ANY light coming through. Embers are sneaky!
