    Installing mesh screening on vents and eliminating flammable material storage near structures is critical to reduce building ignitions during wildfires. Laboratory recordings of wildfires can help explain how homes ignite from embers by getting a practical view of the process. Properly hardening a home against wildfires requires reviewing multiple areas of the home, including roofs, decks, siding, and removing flammable plants, mulch and debris near the structure.

    Surviving Ember Storms - Home Hardening

    Installing the recommended mesh screening and eliminating storage is Critical to reducing building ignitions during a
    wildfire.

    It is hard to find documentation of actual situations as they happen. Pre- and post- event photos can allude to what may
    have happened but watching the recordings made in wildland-urban interface laboratories go miles toward helping
    connect the dots in a practical way.

    Vents are only one aspect of the comprehensive review completed and it is important to cover the other bases before
    deciding whether structures have been fire-hardened or not.
