With the help of our partners, Modoc Fire Safe Council brings wildfire prevention, home ignition assessment, and critical thought to our surroundings into the classroom. Students learn to keep vegetation and other fuel sources at least 5' away from the base/foundation or from overhanging the home's roof. Keep firewood stacks 30' away from the home. Screen in the underside of porches and decks to prevent debris and embers out. Choice of materials such as Class A fire resistant and metal roofing, ventilation screening finer than 1/8" and other home hardening retrofits to make your home resilient to embers.
