Wildfire Partners has released two new do-it-yourself videos to help Boulder County residents take simple, critical steps to protect their homes from wildfire. The short, informative videos show homeowners how to harden their homes using affordable materials and easy techniques.
The first video Protect Home Base demonstrates how to install metal flashing and fire-resistant materials along the base of home walls. The second video The First Five Feet guides viewers through the essential steps for creating a non-combustible zone immediately around the house. Both videos and more are available on the Wildfire Partners YouTube channel.
“These videos empower residents with practical, do-it-yourself actions they can take right now,” said Jim Webster, Wildfire Partners program manager. “Whether you’re just getting started or looking to go the extra mile with your mitigation, these steps can make a real difference in protecting your home.”
The videos offer guidance that can help homeowners across the country take meaningful action during fire season and beyond. More information is also posted on the Wildfire Partners Protect Home Base and The First Five Feet webpages.
