“If you act like a steward of your property, rather than building a fortress to keep everyone away, you start meeting your neighbors and working with other people. You start a community that buys into the whole idea of #wildfirepreparedness together,” says Rasmussen.

Cut black spruce deadfall trees lying on the driveway’s brown rocky bank. Red sled and trailer partially loaded with wood along the drive. Sky is deep blue and cloudless.
45°F and light S breeze at 9:30am on Keystone Ridge. No precip since 6May and RH still >30% at mid day.
Ruby-crowned kinglet singing up a storm.
Clearing out icestorm deadfall and ladder fuels. Many spruce broke in half creating new ladder fuel as the tops dangle to the ground. #myalaskawx #firewise

👏 Give a big round of applause 👏 to our MNA facilities crew for their hard work on Firewise projects around the Museum—thinning stands, trimming low hanging tree limbs, reducing ladder fuels, cleaning up roofs and gutters, and pulling all ground fuels 5 feet away. #WildfirePrevention #firewise

As time passes after a disaster, interest in fire prevention programs wanes. “People are busy, or don’t think it’s going to happen to them,” says Lynn Sestak, the #Firewise Program Leader for the Fire Safe Council of #SantaCruz County.

January isn’t typically a time to plan for wildfires, but now is a good time to look into making your house and landscaping more #Firewise.

I will focus on continuing local #Firewise resiliency measures in our region. Defensible homes are homes that have higher chances of surviving impacts. That's about the best any of us can do now...going forward. The folks that want to listen...will listen. 1/4

Some houses can and do survive a wildfire. A TV reporter in Altadena interviewed a man whose house is a perfect example of how implementing Firewise® activities can protect homes. #wildfire #Firewise #firesafety #loss
