7 Saturdays to a More Fire-Resistant Home
helps Californians prepare for wildfire season
In the second episode of Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s
(PG&E) digital video safety series, “7 Saturdays to a More
Fire-Resistant Home,” customers will learn how to maintain
100-feet of defensible space around their property (or to the
property line).
The “7 Saturdays” series is co-hosted by David Hawks, a
PG&E Senior Public Safety Specialist and former CAL FIRE Chief
of the Butte Unit. According to Hawks, “Taking the time to create
and maintain defensible space by removing or reducing fuels on your
property out to a 100-foot buffer around your home and other
buildings will go a long way in reducing the spread and intensity
of an active wildfire.” With over 31 years serving California as a
firefighter, Hawks understands that simple tasks can help protect
homes. This episode will show people:
- How to create fire-resistant landscapes around their
homes.
- Effective ways to maintain clearance between plants and bushes
to reduce the spread of wildfire.
- Tips for maintaining 100-feet of defensible space that will not
only help homeowners, but also firefighters and other first
responders.
You can watch the new episode now on the Safety Action Center
(safetyactioncenter.pge.com), PG&E’s online preparedness
resource, which provides information to help customers keep their
families, homes, and businesses safe during natural disasters and
other emergencies. New episodes will launch every week, for seven
weeks, naturally.
