Firewise outreach presentation

A free presentation for Elm Valley residents on reducing the risk of a home
igniting in a wildfire. Firefighters will brief each of the six areas that
decide whether a house survives:

  1. Home ignition zones
  2. Landscaping and maintenance
  3. Roofing and vents
  4. Decks and porches
  5. Siding and windows
  6. Emergency responder access

There's a practical reason to come as well as a safety one: once Elm Valley is
recognised by NFPA as a Firewise USA community, residents may be able to save
on their homeowners insurance.

Bring questions about your own property — that's what the evening is for.
