PROTECTING YOUR PROPERTY |

More than 900 homes are destroyed by wildfire each year. |

Wildland-urban interface fires tend to be more damaging than urban structural fires, are often more difficult to control, and behave differently from structural fires. When these fires erupt, people and structures must take priority, often at a devastating expense to natural resources. People who live in these areas often come directly from urban areas, and may bring with them careless habits, and little understanding of wildland fire cycles and dangers. Homes and other structures are built and maintained in a manner that leaves them and their occupants vulnerable. Thus, fire becomes a significant threat to both humans and natural resources. |
