| | Hello Friend,
So, the good thing about it is it can be controlled or better yet, prevented. With proper knowledge and practices, Americans will no longer suffer from this event in the future.
Below are ways on how we can shield ourselves from being affected by wildfires.
Create a Defensible Vegetation Space
People living in rural areas must be mindful of setting up the landscape of their vegetation area. Consider adding flower beds, rocks, and mulches in between plants. This helps retain soil moisture, thus, preventing fires from crawling from one plant to another and then to your home. Having a patio, pathway, sideway, driveway, fence, or walls made of brick and stone also helps slow down the spread of fire.
Eliminate Ladder Fuels
Be mindful of small plants that can make a fire to climb to trees because these taller ones allow the fire to make quick access to your home. So be sure to eliminate ladder fuel type of plants. You may also cut off the lower branch of trees and remove plants around it.
