The latest Wildfire presents an emergency that displays how quickly fires can erupt during dry seasons. Over the years, we at Christian Brothers Restoration have had firsthand experience in the destructive nature of wildfire to property. Property can be restored or rebuilt if it is lost. Life cannot. Therefore, we would like to admonish our community to take every precaution necessary to remain safe during wildfires. Please refer to the following tips to protect your life and those of your loved ones.
Beware of Air Quality – Fire is obviously dangerous, but smoke actually kills and injures more people than fire does. Smoke carries dangerous toxins that can irritate eyes and damage lungs. Smoke diffuses into the air and can greatly reduce air quality. Dangerous air quality levels are especially harmful to infants, elderly, and anyone with respiratory problems.
Prepare a Wildfire Emergency Kit – If the authorities require you to evacuate, you should be prepared. However, if a fire erupts nearby with little time to react, a wildfire emergency kit is essential to survive. Gather the items listed here to ensure that you are prepared for the worst.
