Wildfires are increasing, and many homes may be at higher fire risk than expected. To improve fire safety, review insurance coverage for fire damage, install fine wire mesh screens on vents and windows, and keep chimney flues closed when not in use. Fireproof landscaping by avoiding flammable mulch near structures, spacing plants, and pruning trees. Regularly clear debris from roofs and gutters, seal gaps in siding and doors, add battery backups for garage doors and sprinklers, and keep flammable items away from the house.
