Protect Your Home From Wildfires: Home Hardening Tips
As California wildfires grow more destructive, protecting your home is more important than ever. 🔥 Home hardening—using fire-resistant materials and designs—can significantly increase your home’s resilience against flames and embers.
Whether you're preparing your home before wildfire season or rebuilding after a fire, these simple and affordable steps can make a big difference:
✅ Install ember-resistant vents
✅ Use hardscape materials (gravel, pavers, or cement) within 5 feet of your home
✅ Replace combustible fencing near your home with non-combustible materials
✅ Clear small combustibles from areas under windows, eaves, and siding
✅ Add noncombustible gutter covers to reduce debris buildup
Home hardening applies to both new construction and retrofitting older homes. It considers your home’s exposure to nearby flammable features like vegetation, vehicles, or structures.
Take action today to protect your home and loved ones. Learn more about fire-resistant building materials and retrofitting options at readyforwildfire.org.
