To increase a home’s chance of surviving a wildfire, choose fire-resistant building materials and limit the amount of flammable vegetation planted near it. Residents of the home should make sure to stay on top of their landscaping and tree branches, as well as keep trees pruned. They should also make sure to keep everything watered so nothing gets dried out.
