WILDFIRE DEFENSE CHECKLIST & DIY STRUCTURE TRIAGE SYSTEM

🚩 STEP ZERO: FOUNDATION OF FIRE SAFETY

Follow guidance from your local fire department or wildfire authority. These basic steps create the foundation for any advanced home protection:

  • Create defensible space (30 to 100 feet):

    • Remove dry brush, ladder fuels, and flammable vegetation

    • Maintain green, watered zones close to your home

  • Clean roofs, decks, and gutters regularly

  • Store flammables away from structures (firewood, propane tanks, etc.)

  • Prepare and practice an evacuation plan

    • Pack a go-bag

    • Identify two exit routes

    • Coordinate with neighbors

⛨️ STEP 1: EMBER GUARD VENT INSERT

Install ember-resistant vent inserts to block ember intrusion and improve indoor air quality year-round.

  • Fire-retardant, sponge-type polymer with embedded resistance

  • Coated in activated carbon for heat absorption and air filtration

  • Remains in vents year-round to:

    • Stop ember entry

    • Filter smoke, VOCs, pollen, and mold spores

✅ Best for attic, soffit, crawlspace, and foundation vents

🔥 STEP 2: TWICE OVER™ FIRE PREVENTION SPRAY (by Safe SOSS)

Apply this spray before red flag warnings, high-wind events, or mandatory evacuations.

  • Non-toxic, biodegradable fire prevention treatment

  • Enhances flame resistance of vent guards and surrounding areas

  • Safe to use around:

    • Vents and ember guards

    • Eaves, decks, and landscaping

⚠️ Spray before evacuation for maximum protection.

🔧 STEP 3: SAFE SOSS™ PTFE HEAT-RESISTANT TAPE

Seal off hard-to-cover ember intrusion points before evacuation.

  • Made from Teflon PTFE with extreme heat resistance

  • Backed with temporary adhesive:

    • Strong enough to stay in place

    • Peels off clean with minimal residue

Apply tape to:

  • Vents too small for ember guards

  • Large gaps under eaves or rooflines

  • Garage door edges

  • Front and side door frames

🛎️ Apply as a final step if evacuation is likely or already in effect
