Drought, high winds and low humidity are spelling out extreme fire danger for most of the state of California, including the desert areas of our Morongo Basin. Reporter Taylor Thacker has some reminders to make your property fire safe…
With the wildfires already affecting parts of California, and the threat rising across the state, here are some tips to make your home wildfire-resilient. Prepare your family by having a fire disaster plan and a fire disaster kit. Make sure your street number is legible and clearly marked for emergency responders. Remove fuels that can lead flames to your home or that can become ignited from windblown embers such a dry leaves and sticks. Move any storage sheds, lawn mowers, grills, gas cans, and tanks away from your home. Clean your gutters, eaves and roof to make sure they are clear of debris. Install metal screening that blocks embers from entering your buildings. By doing these things you can help prevent a fire disaster and keep your family safe. For more information call 877-221-7233.
