Wildfires

This spring, Texas has dealt with a number of major wildfires, devestating parts of the state and displacing a great many people. It came close to home in April, when an untended campfire near the Y at Oak Hill spread and damaged or destroyed nearly two dozen homes just a few miles from us.

Wildfires are a fact of life in much of the west. Different geographies, climates, and even neighborhood characteristics influence the individual risk to each of our properties, but it is something we should each be mindful of. Several organizations publish helpful information; I’ve pulled together some ideas from a few sources.
