Common False Assumptions Most Homeowners Make Regarding WILDFIRE:

YOU ASSUME emergency services will be there to save your home from a wildfire.

THE TRUTH IS. . .
Emergency Services may not be able to help you during a large fire, when resources are stretched beyond their capacity, especially if you did not prepare your home for Wildfire!

YOU ASSUME you will have enough time to evacuate in a wildfire.

THE TRUTH IS . . .at the same time you
are trying to get out, emergency equipment is trying to get in. Rural towns and many subdivisions have narrow roads, making it very difficult to escape a fast moving wildfire in a time of chaos!

YOU ASSUME a wildfire will never happen in your neighborhood.

THE TRUTH IS. . . If your home is in
proximity to any type of natural vegetation, you are at risk!

YOU ASSUME you can't possiblity save your home without spending substantial money if the government doesn't help you.

THE TRUTH IS. . .with
no money at all, you could possibly save your home by removing dry leaves and needles around your home, removing wood piles and other simple measures. Hot embers from a wildfire that float in the air cause most homes to catch on fire, not the wildfire itself!
