FireSmart Home Tip: Maintain/Upgrade Exterior

Are you planning home maintenance or renovations this upcoming Spring? Choose Fire-Resistant materials to help protect your home against wildfires.

Siding materials such as stucco, metal siding, brick/concrete, and fiber cement all offer superior fire resistance. Tempered, thermal (double-paned) windows are recommended.

Untreated wood and vinyl siding offer very little protection against wildfires and single-pane windows provide little resistance to heat from an advancing wildfire.
