What is the Most vulnerable part of a Home in a wildfire?


What is the most vulnerable part of a home in a wildfire?

A: Over 90% of homes that ignite in a wildfire (except home to home ignition) are due to flying embers and burning particles up to a mile ahead of the main fire. The roof is the most vulnerable part of any home during a wildfire. Wood shake shingles, leaves, pine needles, on roof or in gutters is usually the first thing to ignite.

Q: What does a Roof Saver Sprinkler® do to protect my home in the event of a fire?
A: This product is not intended to put out a fire, but to prevent ignition. Roof Saver Sprinklers® thoroughly wets roofs, gutters, decks, surrounding trees, and shrubs making these fuels less susceptible to ignition. This soaking of the roof and landscape also releases moisture into the air lowering ambient temperatures and increasing humidity levels.

Q: What should I do if there is a wildfire near my home, city or town?
A: First be sure to listen and follow the reccommendations of Fire and Police officials to ensure you and your family's safety. If possible run sprinklers for several hours prior to the arrival of the fire. The wetter the better, but any run time will increase your home’s chance of survival. Turn on your sprinklers and prepare to evacuate!

What does it mean when Cal Fire opes/closes fire season.

What does it mean when CAL FIRE opens/closes fire season - changes preparedness levels?

The declaration of fire season in California is actually a change in preparedness levels for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. CAL FIRE is year-round fire and emergency response Department. When weather patterns in an area of the state become warm and dry, and vegetation (fuels) are at a low moisture content point, Emergency response dispatch levels are typically increased, facilities are staffed 24 hours a day and additional firefighters are hired.

 CAL FIRE airtankers and air attack planes are deployed from their maintenance location in Sacramento to strategic positions around the state. Restrictions and suspensions of burn permits are also likely to take effect during fire season in areas where extreme fire conditions exist.

When cooling weather, rain and snow are sufficient to reduce the fire threat, CAL FIRE then reduces its preparedness levels by releasing additional firefighters, closing some stations, and repositioning aircraft.

Preparedness levels can change depending upon weather patterns any time throughout the year. Typically they begin to increase earliest and remain in effect the longest in the south state as the warm, dry weather patterns can last from May to January in that region.

Click to see larger graphic


            A: Based on this guide, you should allocate one (1) sprinkler and one (1) hose for every 900 square feet of defensible space. The sprinkler nozzle will be the center point of the 900 square foot 'circular' spray pattern of water including the roof of the building and landscape.

For example, if your home is 1800 square feet, we reccommend two (2) sprinklers and two (2) hoses. If you have an additional building or garage, that structure may require its own sprinkler as well.

Additional sprinklers and hoses can be added for coverage of decks, woodpiles, sheds, etc.

Cal Fire Cooperative Fire Protection Program

 In a State as large and populated as California, no one emergency response agency can do it all. That is why cooperative efforts via contracts and agreements between state, federal and local agencies are essential in response to emergencies like wildland and structure fires, floods, earthquakes, hazardous material spills, and medical aids.

The CAL FIRE Cooperative Fire Protection Program staff are responsible for coordinating those agreements and contracts for the Department. It is because of these cooperative efforts that you may see fire engines and firefighters from different agencies at the scene of an emergency, working under a unified command relationship.

This cooperative effort insures that the response time and number of agencies responding maxes out for the fire effort.  Feel more safe?

Wildfire Season is Here!

Wildfires


More and more people are making their homes in woodland settings - in or near forests, rural areas, or remote mountain sites. There, homeowners enjoy the beauty of the environment but face the very real danger of wildfire.

Every year across our Nation, some homes survive - while many others do not - after a major wildfire. Those that survive almost always do so because their owners had prepared for the eventuality of fire, which is an inescapable force of nature in fire-prone wildland areas. Said in another way - if it's predictable, it's preventable!

Wildfires often begin unnoticed. These fires are usually triggered by lightning or accidents. They spread quickly, igniting brush, trees, and homes. Reduce your risk by preparing now - before wildfire strikes. Meet with your family to decide what to do and where to go if wildfires threaten your area. Follow the steps listed below to protect your family, home, and property.
