Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once a major wildfire is burning, it's too late for fire prevention and sometimes beyond the efforts of firefighters. That's why the most important person preventing a house from burning is the homeowner. If you live in an area threatened by wildfires, here are the most important steps you can take to preserve your home. Install an automatic gas shut off valve. Ember-proof your home. Keep decks clear. Create and maintain a non-ignition zone adjacent to your house. Remove junipers from your property. Take advantage of the wet season for vegetation management. Provide both vertical and horizontal spacing between plants and trees. Your fire insurance will not replace the time, anguish, valued personal items, or loss of community that occurs when your house burns down. The Homeowner's Guide to Fire Prevention provides information that may save your home.

Download or read book A Fire Story written by Brian Fies and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The award-winning author and illustrator presents a personal account of the Northern California wildfires of 2017 in this moving graphic memoir. On October 9th, 2017, wildfires burned through Northern California, resulting in forty-four fatalities and the destruction of thousands of homes. In A Fire Story, Brian Fies shares an unflinching account of this tragedy as he and his wife experienced it—including losing their house and every possession that didn’t fit in their car. As the fires continued to burn through the area, Brian pulled together A Fire Story and posted it online. It immediately went viral. He later expanded the webcomic to include environmental insight and the fire stories of his neighbors. A Fire Story is a candid testimony of the wildfires that left homes destroyed, families broken, and a community determined to rebuild. This updated and expanded edition includes thirty-two pages of all-new material, extending the story past the events of the hardcover edition to include updates on the rebuilding, wrestling with insurance, wrangling with contractors, the management of sometimes volatile emotions, and the threats of yet another wildfire.
