Taking the Right Precautions
If you find yourself in an area which may become affected by a wildfire and / or its smoke, it may be tempting to stay in your property to combat damage. However, it’s vital to remember that your safety, and those of your loved ones and pets, has to come first.
Take any essentials you may need and leave the property together, taking the safest route possible. Depending on the wildfire’s path, your home or business may well avoid the worst of it, enabling you to move back in in only a few days.
However, regardless of the amount of damage you believe your home or business site may suffer, you can take certain steps to reduce the effects. Some of them may be more obvious than others, but they can all contribute:
- Move any combustible objects or materials away from the outside of the property; anything which may ignite or be flammable only adds to the danger posed.
- Keep every window and door shut, to combat smoke and soot penetrating the property as much as you can.
- Be sure that any external furniture is either covered or moved inside, to try to stop them becoming damaged; outdoor furniture can contribute to the overall cost of replacing goods.
- Avoid throwing damaged items away, as some may be able to be repaired or cleaned.
- Switch off your air conditioning systems.
