Alex Graf, of Wildfire Adapted Partnership, this week encouraged homeowners to sign up for free wildfire risk assessments.
During a site visit, staff will identify potential for structural ignitions, and explain how to create defensible space.
“Embers are the reason for the majority of houses burned during a wildfire,” Graf said in a press release.
Areas vulnerable to embers include wood decks, dry grass under decks, wood piles, vegetation, wood roofs and house vents without screens.
“We will come up with a strategic plan to reduce wildfire risk on your property,” Graf said.
Grant money may be available to help cover a portion of the wildfire mitigation costs.
To sign up for a free wildfire risk assessment go to www.wildfireadapted.org
