Preparing Your Marin County Home for Wildfire Season

Living in Marin County means enjoying the beauty of rolling hills, redwoods, and open space—but it also means living with the very real risk of wildfires. Each summer and fall, we see how quickly fire danger can rise, and being prepared isn’t just smart—it’s essential.

Why Preparation Matters

Wildfires don’t give much warning. The difference between a home that weathers a fire and one that doesn’t often comes down to preparation. Clearing defensible space, hardening vulnerable areas, and maintaining your property aren’t just safety measures—they’re peace of mind for you and your family.

What You Can Do Now

Here are a few steps every Marin homeowner should take before fire season peaks:

• Create defensible space: Clear dry leaves, brush, and other flammable materials at least 30 feet from your home.

• Harden your home: Install ember-resistant vents, upgrade to fire-resistant roofing if needed, and make sure decks and fences aren’t weak spots.

• Check access: Make sure fire trucks could get to your property. Clear driveways, trim branches, and ensure your address is visible.

• Have a plan: Know your evacuation routes and pack an emergency kit.
