The Wildfire Equation

Much of the western United States is considered a high fire hazard environment. Long before " modern civilization," fires would periodically burn through - part of an environmental cycle that renewed and re-invigorated living things.

All the natural factors necessary to support large, intense and uncontrollable fires remain. What's changed is an increased population with an increase of homes in these areas, often with little regard to fire's threat. This has caused an interference with the cycle of periodic fires. RESULT: greater fire potential to more and more people.  RESULT: catastrophic fires causing huge losses and un-meetable demands on fire fighting resources. RESULT: a direct threat to your community, your home, your family!

There are things you can do to understand the threat and prepare for it. PREPARE. "Pre" is the key. This blog outlines steps you can take - long before a fire - to prepare your home and family to survive wildfire.

Every step you take in advance reduces risk to you, your family and your home - whether firefighters are available to help protect you or not.

Fire is, and always has been, part of the dynamics of the beautiful area (Southern California) you've chosen to live in. Through advanced planning and preparation, we can be ready for wildfire.
