What is the most vulnerable part of my home?
Your roof system – the roofing material, the gutters, the fascia boards and any vents where flying embers or “fire brands” can land and ignite your home. Non-combustible roofing such as composition, metal or tile roofing is a better choice. Gutters filled with pine needles and other debris provide the perfect nest for fire brands so keep your gutters clean to prevent possible ignition of the fascia boards which can lead fire directly under your roofing material and ignite the structure underneath.
