Bakersfield, California, like many areas in California, is at risk for wildfires, particularly during certain times of the year and under specific conditions. Several factors contribute to the wildfire risk in Bakersfield:

Climate: Bakersfield has a semi-arid climate with hot, dry summers. This climate creates conditions conducive to the ignition and rapid spread of wildfires.
Vegetation: The region around Bakersfield includes a mix of grasslands, shrublands, and forests, which can provide ample fuel for wildfires, especially during periods of drought.
Santa Ana Winds: Bakersfield is located within Southern California, where Santa Ana winds can blow hot and dry air from inland areas toward the coast. These winds increase the risk of wildfires by drying out vegetation and spreading fires quickly.
Drought: California frequently experiences drought conditions, which can lead to dry vegetation that is highly susceptible to ignition.
Human Activity: Human activities, such as campfires, discarded cigarettes, or equipment use, can inadvertently start wildfires.
Urban-Wildland Interface: In some areas around Bakersfield, urban development encroaches into wildland areas, creating an urban-wildland interface where homes and natural vegetation are in close proximity. This increases the risk of wildfires threatening homes and communities.
Wildland Areas: Bakersfield is near or adjacent to wildland areas, such as the Sierra Nevada Mountains and foothills, which are prone to wildfires.

Protecting Yourself & Your Family

Wildfires can erupt suddenly, endangering your home and loved ones. Whether you reside in a wildfire-prone area or not, it's essential to have a preparedness plan in place. ServiceMaster At Bakersfield recommends the following preventive measures to minimize damage in the event of a wildfire:

Evacuation Plan: Develop and practice a family evacuation plan with designated meeting points, pet accommodations, and communication strategies.

Defensible Space: Maintain a clean and green zone of approximately 100 feet around your property.

Fire-Resistant Materials: Use landscaping and building materials that are less prone to ignition.

Regular Roof and Gutter Maintenance: Keep your roof and gutters free from pine needles and debris.

Emergency Evacuation Kit: Assemble a personal emergency bag containing essential items for a quick evacuation.

Immediate Evacuation: Do not delay evacuating your home when instructed to do so for your safety.
