Direct link to October 9th post from the U.S. Forest Service on YouTube While I don't live in an extremely wildfire prone area, wildfires do happen, one happened near me a couple of years ago that the NJ Forest Fire Service extinguished in short order. Point being that while I know that my house does not fit all of the fire safe characteristecs shown in this Facebook post from the U.S. Forest Fire Service and I have a lot in excess of 1.75 acres, I do try to pay attention to wildfire safety around my house as best I can. If I lived an area that was more susectible to wildfires I would have to follow the advice in this post from the U.S. Forest Fire Service more carefully.
