Home Hardening & Vegetation Management

According to ReadyForWildfire.org, most homes are lost to windblown embers—not direct flames. Home hardening means using fire-resistant materials for roofs, vents, siding, decks, and windows to reduce ignition risk.

Paired with vegetation management, such as clearing dead plants, spacing trees and shrubs, and maintaining defensible space zones, these steps greatly improve your home’s wildfire resilience.
