Here are some steps you can take today to reduce your risk and minimize potential loss:

Keep lawns trimmed, leaves raked, and the roof and rain gutters free from debris.
Remove branches hanging above and around your property.
Store flammable materials, liquids, and solvents in metal containers. Keep them outside your property at least 30 feet away from structures and wooden fences.
Clearly mark the entrance to your property with address signs that can be seen easily from the road.
Use fire-resistant draperies for added window protection.
Make sure water sources such as hydrants and ponds are accessible to the fire department.
Cover all exterior vents, attics, and eaves with metal mesh screens. They should be no larger than 1/4 inch to prevent debris from collecting and to keep sparks out.

If your business is in a potential path of an active wildfire, take these actions right away:

Close all interior doors and windows to prevent drafts.
Turn off propane tanks.
Shut off gas at the meter. Only a qualified professional can safely turn the gas back on.
