Store away flammable items like patio furniture and firewood. Screen and seal vents and gaps to keep embers out. Trim tree branches to create space between the ground and other trees. Rake leaves and needles off your roof and around the house. Remove dead vegetation and debris under decks. Close garage doors and seal them to stop embers from getting in.
