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!
