Daily Real Estate News | September 3, 2009 | Guide Helps Owners Protect Against Wildfires
As hot, dry weather heats up the wildfire season, the non-profit Institute for Business & Home Safety is making available a nine-region-specific wildfire property protection guide.

The free guide is downloadable in PDF format, includes advice for retrofitting a home to make to make it more fire resistant.

"We have seen the benefits of effective preparation time and again. On the news, you'll see homes left standing, when others right near them burned. This isn't luck; this is because the surviving home's owner did the right things to make their home more fire resistant," says IBHS CEO Julie Rochman.
