by Deanna Deckard

Stay safe. Save energy. Protect your investment. 🏡💡

🧯 1. Defend Your Property from Wildfire

Creating a defensible space is critical in wildfire-prone areas:

• 🔥 Clear dry brush and vegetation within 30 feet of structures
• 🌳 Trim tree limbs 6–10 feet off the ground
• 🪵 Store firewood and propane away from your home
• 🏠 Use ember-resistant vents and Class A roofing when possible

🔍 Check if your home is in a high-risk fire area using CAL FIRE’s Fire Hazard Severity Zone map

💡 2. Stay Cool Without Spiking the Bill

In Solano’s dry summers:

• 🪟 Keep blinds closed during peak heat
• 💨 Use fans before running the A/C
• 🌬️ Clean or replace air filters monthly
• 🌴 Plant shade trees for natural cooling

⚡ 3. Be Smart with Power Use

Lower your bills and reduce grid demand:

• ⏰ Run major appliances during off-peak hours
  👉 PG&E Off-Peak Info 
• 📴 Unplug devices when not in use
• 💡 Switch to LED bulbs—more light, less cost!

---

📲 4. Use Smart Tech to Stay Fire-Ready

• 🔥 Install monitored smoke + CO detectors
• 📱 Sign up for Solano County emergency alerts
• 💧 Keep garden hoses ready + a water source on standby if rural

 🧰 5. Annual Fire & HVAC Prep

• Get HVAC service before the summer rush
• Schedule a fire risk assessment if in a high-hazard zone
