“The Hidden Fire Risks Lurking in Your Landscape”
It all begins with an idea.
In the Pacific Northwest, wildfire season gets more intense every year. Without realizing it, your yard could be your biggest fire risk. Have you ever stopped to ask yourself the right questions?
🔥 Is your yard actually helping protect your home – or secretly putting it at risk of wildfire?
🌿 Have you ever checked what types of plants surround your house – and if they could catch fire easily?
🛠️ What steps can you take this weekend to reduce fire hazards in your landscaping – without spending a lot of money?
Fire risk often hides in the small details. Dry leaves, spider webs, overgrown shrubs — they may seem harmless, but in the summer heat, they become dangerous fuel. Let's take a closer look.
🌳 Do overhanging branches or dry shrubs surround your home — silently increasing your fire risk?
🍂 Have you ever cleaned up dry leaves, pine needles, or clutter from your roof or gutters?
🧹 Could something as simple as monthly yard cleanup actually protect your family from disaster?
A clear space around your home can slow or even stop a wildfire. But if that zone is cluttered or ignored, it could do the opposite. These questions will help you assess your surroundings.
🚫 Is there at least 5 feet of clear space around your home — or is dry grass and clutter hugging your walls?
✂️ When was the last time you trimmed shrubs, raked leaves, or cleaned your roof?
🏠 Have you created any space between your home and flammable plants — or is everything packed in too close? Still not sure if your yard is truly fire-safe?
