Anyone watching the news is painfully aware of the devastation caused by fires. Hardly a day goes by in the summer months when there are not new reports of damage caused by fires.

While it is true that fires can be horrific for property owners, there are things you can do to mitigate fire damage. On of the important things that you can do is to have an appropriate fire break around your structures. According to Backwoods Home If your house is surrounded by low brush, lay a fire break around your house about 100 feet away and 3 to 6 feet in width; it could also be used as a walking or jogging path. This should be gravel, concrete, or at least bare earth. The higher the fuels, the wider the fire break needs to be. Also ensure that there are not flammables too close to the house.
