Understanding California's Wildfire Season

When Does Fire Season Start?

California's fire season typically runs from May to November, with peak activity occurring between July and October.

Factors Contributing to Wildfires

Multiple factors increase California's wildfire risk:

  • Climate Change: Rising temperatures and prolonged droughts create drier vegetation, which fuels larger and more intense fires.
  • Combustible Vegetation: California has vast expanses of dense forests, shrublands, and grasslands that provide ample fuel for wildfires.
  • li>Human Activities: Campfires, burning debris, and smoking can spark wildfires, especially during dry conditions.

Protecting Your Property from Wildfires

Creating a Defensible Space

Follow these steps to reduce your home's vulnerability to wildfires:

  • Clear vegetation within 100 feet of your home: Remove trees, shrubs, and other flammable materials.
  • Install ember-resistant roofing and siding: Metal, concrete, or tile materials can prevent flying embers from igniting your home.
  • Maintain a defensible zone: Create a buffer zone between your home and surrounding vegetation by pruning tree branches, clearing underbrush, and watering your lawn regularly.

Evacuation Planning

Prepare an evacuation plan in case of a wildfire:

  • Identify multiple evacuation routes: Have several options in mind to avoid potential road closures.
  • Prepare an emergency kit: Pack essential supplies, including water, food, medications, important documents, and a first-aid kit.
  • Stay informed: Monitor official wildfire updates and evacuate immediately if instructed to do so.
