Gulf Breeze, FL Fire Damage Cleanup and Restoration

WILDFIRES



The threat of wildland fires for people living near wildland areas or using recreational facilities in wilderness areas is real. Dry conditions at various times of the year greatly increase the potential for wildland fires. Advance planning and knowing how to protect buildings in these areas can lessen the devastation of a wildland fire.

What to Do Before a Wildfire

  • Make plans to care for your pets in case you must evacuate.
  • Shut off gas, pilot lights and propane tanks. Open fireplace damper. Close fireplace screens. Move flammable furniture away from windows and sliding-glass doors. Place combustible patio furniture inside.
  • Turn on lights to increase visibility of your home in heavy smoke.
  • Seal attic and ground vents with plywood or commercial seals.
  • Connect the garden hose to outside taps.
  • Place lawn sprinklers on the roof and near above-ground fuel tanks. Wet the roof. Wet or remove shrubs near the home.
  • Leave doors and windows closed but unlocked. It may be necessary for firefighters to gain quick entry into your home.

What to Do During a Wildfire

  • Wear protective clothing, sturdy shoes, cotton or woolen clothing, long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, gloves and handkerchief to protect your face.
  • The water you put into your pool or hot tub and other containers will come in handy now. 
  • Evacuate when instructed and bring your disaster supply kit.
  • Tell someone when you leave and where you are going.
  • Choose a route away from fire hazards.
