Schedule a free, non-regulatory Wildfire Home Risk Assessment!

The best way to identify areas around your home to strengthen for wildfire resilience is to have a professional come perform a wildfire home risk assessment. At this visit, our staff will walk the perimeter of your home and point out ways to reduce ember ignition.

May is Wildfire Awareness Month!

Taking simple actions all throughout May can help you be more prepared for wildfires:

• Install 1/8inch metal mesh screening in attic and crawl space vents
• Move firewood to more than 30 feet away from the side of your home
• Use native fire-resistant plants in your garden

For more tips on how to prepare your home for wildfire season, contact us at skagitcd.org/wild-fire to schedule a free and non-regulatory wildfire home risk assessment!
