Emergency Mitigation
prevent ignition
When your home is being threatened by wildfire immediate steps need to be taken to prevent ignition of your property.
It is important to remember firefighters have limited resources and will choose to save the most savable properties. Having your home in a ready state gives firefighters the highest chance of saving it and they will dedicate resources to the most savable properties.
At this stage there is no time that can be spent to do a formal assessment and formal landscaping changes over an extended period of time.
At this stage when a community is put on an evacuation alert or is under an evacuation order Dowling Fire and Hazard Control can immediately respond and provide an on-scene assessment and mitigation steps to prevent home ignition.
This follows all of the same principals of our home hazard assessment and wildfire mitigation steps but does it in a compressed timeframe and removes hazards in the most effective short-term way without undue damage to the home.
- Removal of fuels by landscaping
- Removal of fuels by alteration of fencing and Decking
- Application of long-term fire retardant
For any question about fire retardant application please contact us but this short video will answer almost any question you have.
