As wildfire risk grows in areas across the globe, what can we do to strengthen our homes and landscapes to defend against it? I am grateful to have learned more from Elizabeth Christy of USGBC California about Wildfire Defense and their new training program. If you missed this GreenHome Institute CEU webinar, you can rewatch it anytime here! Based on the attendee session survey results, people have learned about the importance of fire defense, including the challenges associated with exterior insulation systems for Passive and low-energy homes. They have gained knowledge about native plants, zones of safety around a structure, and the concept of Wildland Urban Interface (WUI). There is a heightened awareness of fire-resistant material choices and the significance of property maintenance in preventing home fires. People have expressed interest in learning more about defensible space around homes, the use of native plants for fire resistance, and the impact of landscaping on fire risk. Additionally, there is a desire for more information on alternative siding and roofing materials for resilience against wildfires. Would you please help us spread the word and share this? https://lnkd.in/gz7DvMMH

**Synopsis of Chatsworth Lake Manor Fire Defense Town Hall Meeting** The recent Town Hall meeting in Chatsworth Lake Manor focused on equipping residents with essential knowledge and skills to prepare for potential wildfire events. The session provided valuable insights into fire safety and defense strategies tailored to our community. Key topics included: 1. **Fire Hose Training**: Residents participated in hands-on training with fire hoses, learning the proper techniques for usage in emergency situations. This practical training aimed to empower residents to act swiftly and effectively should a wildfire threaten our homes. 2. **Identifying Flammable Trees**: Experts discussed the types of vegetation that pose a higher risk during wildfires, particularly focusing on certain tree species known for their flammability. Residents were educated on how to assess their properties for these hazardous trees and the importance of maintaining defensible space around homes. 3. **Preparedness Strategies**: The meeting emphasized the importance of having a wildfire action plan. Residents were encouraged to create and practice evacuation routes, maintain clear access around their properties, and stay informed about local fire conditions. The Town Hall meeting fostered a sense of community resilience, encouraging all residents to take proactive steps in safeguarding their homes and families against the threat of wildfires. Together, we can enhance our preparedness and ensure a safer environment for everyone in Chatsworth Lake Manor. https://lnkd.in/gFTSG8mb

Standards of cover were discussed in the Commission report and will solve some of the issues discussed in the Senate hearing on Wildfire https://lnkd.in/er7NTRyK In everyday life we have to know what our goals are to know we are successful. Let’s set some goals on response!

Does aerial fire fighting work, and is it worth the cost? Well, here's a great piece of historical knowledge to help us answer that question. These are questions I'm continually asked, and the answer is always emphatically yes. Although we are seeing the errors of 100% suppression that's been compounded by the inability to log our forests, it's critical that we realize capacity and maintain the ability to provide rapid initial attack, nation wide. For the #Congressional Wildfire Commission, that means an appropriate standard of cover. United Aerial Firefighters Association (UAFA) https://lnkd.in/db39vdjj

As we install these Frontline Wildfire Defense Systems I always try to educate homeowners on allowing debris to collect in gutters and other concealed areas of a roof. This home in Sedona is surrounded by Junipers and Pinion Pines, several of these trees are very close to the home. It is true that the Frontline Wildfire Defense System will provide saturation of water and fire retardant all over these areas. However, getting your landscaper or other handyman to clean out the gutters and just take a blower and blow off these areas that collect dry and dead leaves, pinecones and debris will help stop any flying embers from igniting the structure.
