Wildfires are unplanned fires that burn out of control in natural areas. These fires spread quickly and can devastate wildlife, natural areas, and communities.

Wildfire protective measure you can take around your home are:
- Use fire-resistant materials to build, renovate or make repairs.
- Find an outdoor water source with a hose that can reach any area of your property.
- Create a fire-resistant zone that is free of leaves, debris or flammable materials for at least 30 feet from your home.
- Designate a room that can be closed off from outside air. Close all doors and windows. Set up a portable air cleaner to keep indoor pollution levels low when smoky conditions exist.
