Be Ember Aware!
Will YOUR home survive when the embers arrive?
During a wildfire, thousands of embers can rain down on your roof and pelt the side of your home like hail during a storm. If these embers become lodged in something easily ingirted or near your house, the home will be in jeopardy of burning. Embers coming into contact with flammable materials is the major reason why homes are destroyed during wildfire.
This brochure outlines the risk presented by flying embers during a wildfire, and steps you can take to mitigate that risk.
