Wildfire Mitigation

As we develop our landscape plans we want to keep wildfire mitigation in mind.

It is very important to realize that no (livable!) house is fire proof, but you can make it more fire-safe!

Things we could do today:
- Remove leaf and branch debris from roof
- Clean out gutters
- Hoses on all spigots
- Cut back the rest of the "dead" grass in the back
- Remove the small trees under the oak, fire ladder into canopy
