Wintertime provides a great opportunity to learn more about fire safety and wildfire prevention before the next season arrives. This week, we’re focusing on the Urban-Wildland Interface—the area where homes and other structures meet undeveloped land.
Homes in these zones are at higher risk during wildfires. With proper preparation, you can help protect your property and family. Simple steps like clearing defensible space around your home, using fire-resistant materials, and creating an emergency plan can make a significant difference for protecting your home.
Reach out to your local BLM office for more information about the urban-wildland interface and how you can prepare. Let’s work together to keep our communities safe year-round! You can also visit https://www.usfa.fema.gov/wui/ for additional resources.
