Know Your Wildfire Risk

• Be aware that wildfires can occur anytime of year, but most occur from June to October

Prepare Your Home and Studio

• Use fire-resistant siding and safety-glass windows and doors.
• Use non-combustible materials for your roof.
• Create a safety zone of at least 30 feet around your studio and home, by removing and reducing highly flammable vegetation.
• Remove debris from places close to structures.

Plan for Evacuation or Stay Put
