We called in the help of the pros at SERVPRO when dealing with fire safety and fire prevention in Oak Hills and here are just a few things you can do make sure you have the best odds of being fireproof in Oregon.

TIPS FOR FIRE-PROOFING YOUR HOME/YARD

• Create a fire safe zone around your home. Remove flammable vegetation and leaves at least 20’ from the house and at least 75’ if you live in a pine forest.
• Inspect your home and yard asking: What can catch fire or carry it to your home?
• Having nothing flammable within 10’ of the house. Occasional trees should be at least 10’ from the house
• Evergreens catch fire easily and burn quickly. Prune lower limbs, thin out the trees or remove them from the safety zone.
