Fireproofing your home can help protect it from wildfire. Don’t know where to start? Learn how landscaping can be a defensive method for preventing fires. Watch the video: youtu.be/vL_syp1ZScM. via @Firewise #firewise
Do you have defensible space? 🏡🌲🔥 It's a fuel buffer for the 🏡 & a place for firefighters to do structure protection if the home is defensible. @Firewise. 📷: USDA & DOI image-Interior's Firewise Communities® - A User Guide to the Firewise Communities/USA Recognition Program
(2 of 2) To help reduce risk & create a safer environment for firefighters to conduct suppression operations, we support programs like the @US_Wildfire, @Firewise, @fireadaptednet, Community Wildfire Defense Grants and more!
(1 of 2) Since 1990, Wildland Urban Interface (#WUI) in the South has increased by more than 24.7 Million acres! This indicates that people are building homes & neighborhoods near natural areas at lightning speed. This ALSO means more people are living w/heightened wildfire risk
Just took a course thru @NFPA @Firewise on Home Ignition Assessments featuring Dr. Jack Cohen, one of the worlds top wildfire scientists. He gives a great overview of home wildfire mitigation actions in this video youtu.be/vL_syp1ZScM

We then applied the model to Roxborough park in CO, USA, as we had evacuation data owning to a @Firewise drill and could calibrate our evacuation data based on it.
It's not all about response, focusing on #wildfire prevention is vital, using @Firewise and @ForestryComm control measures, can increase property survivability. @WildfireTacAd providing sound advice on how @GHFalklands can make small #adaptations to increase resilience.

@ksinky @DonMartinCTV @ClintelOrg Also clearing out fuel load and buildings fire breaks around critical infrastructure/boreal-placed communities.
