Did you know that one of the most common ways homes ignite and burn during wildfires is by embers entering the home through vents?
During a wildfire, embers are carried by wind and can travel for miles, well ahead of the main flame front. If these embers enter unprotected attic, crawl space, or foundation vents, they can ignite combustible materials like insulation, dust, or stored items within the home.
Covering vents with fine, metal screens is a critical fire prevention measure.
