As wildfires pose a threat to our communities, it is crucial to take proactive steps to protect your home.
During a wildfire event, dry leaf debris in rain gutters makes a home extremely vulnerable to ignition from wind-blown embers.
Protect your home from wildfire risks with a durable, non-combustible Gutter Guard. Installing leaf guards is one of the most effective and affordable solutions to safeguard your property and reduce the threat of wildfires. Take the first step toward a safer home today!
Fire hardening your home is essential for reducing ignition risks during a wildfire. Using non-combustible materials like metal roofing, cement siding, and ember-resistant vents can significantly improve your home’s resilience. Additionally, there should be no combustible materials within five feet of the structure, as this critical zone can act as a firebreak. Windows should be double-paned with tempered glass to withstand heat, while garage doors must be properly sealed with adequate weatherstripping to prevent embers from entering. Coupled with defensible space practices—such as maintaining a 100-foot buffer zone free of flammable vegetation, spacing plants and trees to prevent fire spread, and using fire-resistant landscaping materials—these measures create a comprehensive wildfire defense strategy. Increasingly, insurance companies are requiring homeowners to implement fire-hardening strategies and maintain defensible space to secure or retain coverage, reflecting the growing importance of proactive wildfire risk mitigation.
