According to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department, "A home within one mile of a natural area is in the Ember Zone. Wind-driven embers can attack your home. You and your home must be prepared well before a fire occurs. Ember fires can destroy homes or neighborhoods far from the actual flame front of the wildland fire." These 3 construction choices, made while constructing your new home in an ember zone, will help you avoid San Diego fire damage in wildfire seasons.
- Build your roof from fire resistant materials such as composite, tile, or metal. This may be one of the most important fire defense choices you make.
- Choose outer coverings that resist heat and embers: masonry, brick, stucco, cement.
- Use dual-paned windows with the exterior pane of tempered glass. This helps reduce the chance of breaking during a fire and letting in other burning materials.

Helpful Resources to Bookmark for a Fire Emergency
We've written 3 blog posts over the past year about fire readiness and prevention (which you can find here, here, and here). CalFire has been issuing alerts since January about the fire season this year and San Diego has just kicked it off in a big way.
