Wildfires pose serious threats to Southern California and Orange County homeowners.
Flames can rapidly engulf homes, causing irreplaceable damage. Apart from direct fire damage, the smoke generated is a health hazard, carrying harmful pollutants that reduce air quality. Prolonged exposure can lead to respiratory issues, allergies, and other health complications. Residents also face the threat of evacuation, and after a wildfire, the damaged land increases risk of mudslides. Mitigating these dangers requires vigilance, preparation, and understanding of wildfire behavior.
