Wildfires in California: A Persistent Threat

In California, wildfires pose an ongoing challenge. Surprisingly, most homes consumed by wildfires do not succumb to the fire’s advancing edge.

Instead, wind-driven embers are the primary culprits, traveling miles ahead of the main blaze. These burning particles exploit tiny weaknesses, like gutters, attic vents, or piles of dry debris near a house.

The embers settle in these areas, igniting flames and causing significant destruction to homes and properties.
