Fire Safe Marin

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

Wildfire mitigation and ecosystem health can be part of the same strategy. That’s the idea behind the Ecologically Sound Practices Partnership, where fire professionals, ecologists, and scientists collaborate to guide vegetation management. 🔗 bit.ly/ESP-common-gro…

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

A safer home shouldn’t mean a less livable one. Patios, pathways, and gathering spaces can double as wildfire protection when designed with fire-smart materials and landscaping. Designed for Safety. Built for Living. Learn more: bit.ly/Resilience-Rei… #ResilienceReimagined

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

Mark Brown, Executive Officer of @marinwildfire, and Jacob Dadmun, Vegetation Specialist, explain how decades of putting out fires have actually led to more fuel buildup and higher wildfire risk and what we can do about it 🔥 Watch here 🔗 youtu.be/pntxt7_LdsQ #MarinCounty

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

💕 Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue… Embers can travel far- But defensible space helps protect you. 🔥🏡 #ValentinesWithPurpose #FireSmart #FireSafeMarin #MarinCounty #CommunityRiskReduction
