As the Prescott area approaches fire season, it is imperative residents understand how to protect their homes. Prescott Fire Department wildland fire official Conrad Jackson says residents should ensure the vegetation surrounding their home is well maintained in a Firewise manner. This includes preventing plants from growing against the house and trimming surrounding vegetation.
Jackson tells The News:
Jackson says the embers will follow the same path around the house as the leaves, and he sees many homes in the area that could be at greater risk due to lack of maintenance.
