How to Prepare for a Wildfire, Scott M. Favre Public Adjuster

If you are in a fire-prone area, preparing your property before the season will help.
Create a 30-100 foot safety zone around your property in which flammable vegetation is consistently cleared.
Regularly clean roof, gutters and chimneys.
Install smoke detectors on your property, especially near bedrooms. Test them monthly and change the batteries at least twice a year.
Keep handy household items that can be used as fire tools such as a rake, axe, chain saw, bucket and shovels.
Have several garden hoses long enough to reach any area of your property and surrounding vegetation.
Keep a ladder that will reach the roof.
When building or renovating, install electrical lines underground, if possible.
Use tile, stucco, metal siding, brick, concrete block, rock, or other fire-resistant materials on roofs.
Use only thick, tempered safety glass in large windows and sliding glass doors.
