Firewise Back Home

by Ed Brown

Are you one of the TGO residents who have become Firewise this past year? Trail clean-ups, Firewise presentations, community events and even this bi-monthly column in “The Happenings” should have gotten the essential information to you. You may have responded by developing Firewise knowledge and attitudes and actions that can be applied to your other community up north. Now you may want to expand your wildfire knowledge base. The excellent Firewise Video by Doug Jensen is a great place to start, as are a number of pamphlets available here in TGO: TGOCSA.ORG.

How To Prepare Your Home for Wildfire

Firewise Landscaping

Before you depart The Great Outdoors for the season, take a critical look at your property. Is the roof clear of dried pine needles and leaves? How about gutters and downspouts? Is the “30-foot defensible zone” around your property clear of flammable dry palm fronds, fallen branches and leaves? Are trees in the zone clear of branches up to 8 feet off the ground? We’re talking about “ladder fuels” that can lead a fire to your roof line and the tree tops! Vines that climb your trees are in the same category and should be cut down. If these things have not been attended to, it might be wise to delay your departure and take care of them yourself or hire a property maintenance professional to clean your property up to Firewise standards.

When you get back to your other home and community, the same standards may apply. It’s just one more maintenance task that needs to be addressed. Remember, your concern should be for your community and the WUI (Wildland Urban Interface). This is the critical area where your summer home and the wildlands may share common space. If you live in yet another wildfire danger zone, perhaps you and your northern neighbors could start a local FIREWISE PROGRAM for that community. TGO Firewise could help.

Remember: With our warmer temperatures and lack of rain - we are currently in a Moderate Risk for Wildfires. Drive Carefully. Be Safe In Your Travels. We look forward to your safe return!

THINK FIREWISE, BE SAFE!
