Be Ready For The Next One
Defensible Space
When your home is threatened by a wildfire, firefighters are faced with a decision to fight to save your home or move on to the next one. The defensible space that you have created may be the deciding factor. Learn more on the Cal Fire website.
Evacuation Checklist
Be prepared well before a wildfire threatens your home. Pack a Go-Bag with all of the essentials and have a plan for pets. This checklist developed by the University of Nevada is fairly comprehensive and extremely valuable. Print it and keep it handy.
Protect if Possible
If you have time before evacuating, use your pool pump to wet down your roof and the vegetation around your home. Leave the pump set up and drag the hose to the front of your home before you evacuate so the firefighters can use it if necessary.
