Home is where life thrives: dinners outside, grandkids in the yard, neighbors stopping by. In Marin, ~70,000 homes sit in high-risk wildfire areas. Most homes lost in wildfires ignite from embers. Protect what matters most. Fire Smart, Still Beautiful. bit.ly/hardening-homes

Invasive plants like French broom and pampas grass grow fast, crowd out beneficial species, and create dense, highly flammable fuel. A little work this spring goes a long way toward protecting your property! 🏡🛠️ Learn more🔗 bit.ly/marin-gardener… #FireSafeMarin #MarinCounty

Un hogar más seguro no tiene que ser menos habitable. Patios, senderos y espacios de reunión también pueden ayudar a proteger contra incendios forestales cuando se diseñan con materiales y paisajismo inteligentes frente al fuego. bit.ly/Resilience-Rei… #ResilienceReimagined

Juniper is one of the most fire-prone plants you can have near your home. ➡️ For fire safety, juniper should be removed within 100 feet of structures and at least 10 feet from roadways and driveways. Learn more fire-smart landscaping tips at firesafemarin.org #MarinCounty

Wildfire resilience starts at home. It protects the people you love. Upgrades like ember-resistant vents, clean gutters, and Zone 0 landscaping keep families safe, so your home stays a place to gather, relax, and thrive. More: bit.ly/Resilience-Rei… #MarinCounty #WildfireReady

The 5ft next to your house is critical to protecting your home from wildfire 🔥 ✔️ Replace jute or natural fiber doormats ✔️ Remove all combustible materials ✔️ Remove tree limbs that extend into this zone ✔️ Do not store firewood, lumber, or combustibles #MarinCounty

El diseño resistente a incendios no es limitación, es oportunidad. La zona 0 (el área más cercana a su vivienda) puede convertirse en un patio de bajo mantenimiento con grava o adoquines, lo que reduce el riesgo de incendio por brasas. Más: bit.ly/Resilience-Rei…

Wildfire resilient design isn’t a limitation, it’s an opportunity. Zone 0 (area closest to your home) can become a low-maintenance patio using gravel or pavers, reducing ember risk. Less water. Less upkeep. More room to gather with family & friends. More: bit.ly/Resilience-Rei…

Assess your Zone Zero 🏠 Here are three questions to ask yourself: 1. Are there combustible items that you can move? 2. Is there dead or dying plant material that you can remove? 3. Can you use non-combustible mulch like gravel or decomposed granite? #MarinCounty
