flag California urges homeowners to fortify homes against wildfires with retrofits and defensible space.

flag California wildfires are becoming more frequent, leading the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection to urge homeowners to "harden" their homes against fire threats. flag Key steps include retrofitting roofs, chimneys, vents, windows, walls, and creating a 100-foot defensible space by clearing dry vegetation and flammable materials. flag These measures can significantly increase a home's chances of surviving a wildfire. flag Even homes built before 2008 need updates to meet current fire-resistant standards.
