Recommendations may include:  

  • Remove flammable debris from your roof and gutters.
  • Cut back tree limbs at least 10 feet from the roof line.
  • Remove all combustible items from under your deck or porch.
  • Plant fire-resistant plants. 
  • Keep grass mowed to less than 4 inches in height.
