Burning embers can travel as far as five miles in front of a wildfire and are responsible for up to 60 percent of wildland/urban interface home ignitions. Here are some tips from the National Fire Protection Association for minimizing the risk of wildfire damage:

Action Items to Improve Your Home’s Survivability:

• REMOVE leaves, pine needles, and other flammable material from the roof, gutters, and on and under the deck to help prevent embers from igniting your home
• SCREEN areas below decks and porches with 1/8” wire mesh to help prevent material from accumulating underneath
• COVER exterior attic and soffit vents with 1/8” wire mesh to help prevent sparks from entering your home
• ENCLOSE eaves to help prevent ember entry
• INSPECT shingles or roof tiles. REPLACE missing shingles or tiles. COVER ends of tiles with bird stops or cement to help prevent ember penetration during a wildfire.
