Hazards
Wildfires
The threat of wildland fires for people living near
wildland areas or using recreational facilities in wilderness areas is
real. Dry conditions at various times of the year and in various
parts of the United States greatly increase the potential for wildland
fires.
Advance
planning and knowing how to protect buildings in these areas can lessen
the devastation of a wildland fire. There are several safety
precautions that you can take to reduce the risk of fire losses.
Protecting your home from wildfire is your responsibility. To reduce the
risk, you'll need to consider the fire resistance of your home, the
topography of your property and the nature of the vegetation close by.
