California is grappling with an alarming increase in wildfire activity. Compared to the 5-year average, the state has experienced a year-to-date 120 percent increase in fire starts and a whopping 293,000 million percent surge in total acres burned - now nearing 40,000 acres in just the first 10 days of January. These numbers underscore the urgency of being prepared. Now more than ever, it’s critical to harden your home against wildfires and create defensible space around your property. Simple steps like clearing dry vegetation, maintaining a buffer zone, and using fire-resistant building materials can make a difference.
