A wildfire can cause some devastating destruction. Just looking at recent outbreaks can tell you that it is nothing to take lightly. With a large wildfire and heavy winds, you might find yourself with an inferno around your home with very little warning. While it is difficult to completely protect yourself, it is good to take a close look at the surroundings of your home to see where the fire could spread if it were to come your way.
Something that many homeowners might not think of is that their fence could turn into fuel for a fire. Even if the fence itself isn’t made from flammable material, there could be leaves and branches bunched up by the wind providing fuel for a fire.
If you live in an area where wildfires are common, you should also trim back trees and bushes to a good distance away from your home. By doing so, it is possible that you could save your home.
