This is your sign to give your backyard a DIY makeover and protect your home from wildfires. 😏

Wildfires are fueled by flammable materials like dead leaves and wooden structures. You can reduce the chance of a wildfire starting and spreading by maintaining your landscape and creating a buffer area between your home and the surrounding area.

Swipe to admire the transformation and get inspired to build a wildfire barrier around your home with these helpful tips:

• Remove dead vegetation, leaves and debris from the roof, gutters and anywhere around your home.
• Keep your bushes thin and your grass at a low height. 
• Remove items stored under decks and porches that can catch fire. 
• Plant fire-resistant trees and shrubs like red oaks and lilacs.
