In California, the frequency of Santa Ana wind events raises the risk of disastrous wildfires. Homeowners can take significant preventive steps to protect their properties.
Fires linked to harsh wind conditions often lead to devastating property damage. Essential home hardening techniques involve utilizing non-combustible materials and keeping a defensible space.
Implementing strict regulations like ensuring ember-proof vents and using tempered glass in windows can substantially minimize the risks during peak fire seasons.
Creating an immediate defensible zone involves removing combustible materials and woody vegetation within a 5-foot radius of the house and using hardscape for landscaping.
