Steps to Protect Your Home from Wildfire

Each year hundreds of people build their dream homes away from the city. These homes are tucked in the woods or abut picturesque wild land. Unfortunately, in all their serene beauty, these homes may be vulnerable to wild fire. Fire is not just a threat to homes in remote rural areas. Every year, homes are lost in or near wildlands.

Things you can do to help protect your home from wildfire:

1. No cost, just time
2. Minimal cost actions ($10–$25 and a little time)
3. Moderate cost actions ($50–$250 and a little more work)
4. High cost actions (more than $500)
