Time To Get "Ready" for Wildfire Season

Here is an image CALFIRE has used for tip #6 how to prevent a fire this Wildfire Season

With all this downtime from State and National quarantines, now is a great time to make some small but effective changes to you your home to help prevent fire damage.

One of the tips that our local CALFIRE and Riverside County fire has suggested today is putting a metal screen to cap off your chimney and stovepipe outlets. If you're like me, you've always wondered how small the screen openings needed to be. CALFIRE posted about it on Twitter this morning. The openings should be no smaller than 3/8 inch and no bigger than 1/2 an inch. 

This is important because the embers get trapped by the screen instead of flying out and free to catch trees and brush on fire, your roof even. 

So, this Wildfire Season do everything you can to prevent a fire in your neighborhood. Follow our blogs for more information as we move closer to the season and

ALWAYS make us your second call if you have a fire emergency.
