🔥 FireSmart Tip of the Week: Fireproof Your Deck!

Your deck could be the weak link during wildfire season. Embers can land, ignite nearby items, and spread to your home—fast.

Here’s how to protect it:

✅ Clear off flammable items (cushions, toys, bins)
✅ Move propane tanks away from your home
✅ Swap Flammable doormats for non-combustible rubber ones
✅ Clean underneath—no wood, debris, or storage
✅ Wrap or upgrade wood posts with fire-resistant materials

Small changes = big protection.
