In Pennington County, those living in the wildland-urban interface area or in the forest need to be prepared, it's not a matter of "if" but "when".

Stay safe by preparing your home and property "before" the threat of wildfire.  

Get your home READY before the threat of wildfire:

1.Harden your home by focusing on 3 things:
  • Stopping flames from touching your home
  • Protecting it from heat
  • Blocking flying embers
2.Create defensible space:
  • This space around your home creates a vital barrier against wildfires.
  • Keeping the area directly around your home free from flammable materials and vegetation significantly lowers the risk of fire reaching your property.
3.Select fire-resistant plants:
  • Incorporate fire-resistant plants in your landscaping to enhance your home's wildfire defense.
  • These plants are less prone to ignition and can add an extra layer of safety while keeping your garden looking good.
