“7 Saturdays” Digital Video Series
Introduces Californians to Cost-effective Ways to Prepare their
Homes for Wildfire.
To prepare homes for the threat of wildfire, Californians across
the state are looking for affordable ways to make their homes more
fire safe. Making improvements to a home’s infrastructure (known as
home hardening) can prevent embers from entering and starting a
fire.
In the third episode of Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s
(PG&E) digital video series, “7 Saturdays to a More
Fire-Resistant Home,” customers will learn three simple and
affordable ways to make their homes more fire resistant in just one
Saturday. You can stream the show on PG&E’s preparedness
website, the Safety Action Center, which provides information to
help customers keep their families, homes and businesses safe
during natural disasters and other emergencies.
The “7 Saturdays” series is co-hosted by Alicia Mason and
David Hawks, a PG&E Senior Public Safety Specialist and former
CAL FIRE Chief of the Butte Unit. According to Hawks, “Embers can
travel several miles and find their way into gaps and cracks on
your home and ignite a fire. By hardening your home, you improve
the chances that your home will withstand a wildfire and keep
embers out.” For over 31 years, Hawks has served California as a
firefighter and he understands that simple home adjustments can
better protect people and communities during an emergency. This
episode will show customers:
- How weather stripping can seal their homes and prevent embers
from entering vulnerable locations, like garages and windows.
- How to plug up gaps in damaged door frames, walls and boards
with caulking.
- The correct way to install ember-resistant vents and screening
to help protect against embers penetrating the home and catching it
on fire.
You can watch the third episode now on the Safety Action Center
(safetyactioncenter.pge.com).
