🧯 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
