The Threat is Real
Most people don’t believe they will lose their home – or their life – as a result of a wildfire. Getting burned over is something that happens elsewhere.
At some point, a wildfire breaks out – terrain or wind-driven, and without proper preparation, their home is damaged or destroyed. “I can’t believe this happened to me,” is a common refrain.
Wildfire season is now year round.
According to a recent report from the First Street Foundation, Riverside County has the most properties at risk of being burned in a wildfire in the entire United States. That means more than 700,000 properties are at risk.
