Home with good defensible space is saved during a wildfire

#DefensibleSpace and #HomeHardening aren’t optional—they’re essential. They give firefighters the space they need to work, and your home the best chance to stand up against wildfire.

If you haven’t started your defensible space yet, now’s the time. Fires wait for no one.
