Residents of California and in particular areas around Riverside are likely to live with the knowledge that wildfires are part of the Californian landscape from time to time. It seems that 2012 is likely to see conditions that spell danger as far as wildfire threat is concerned, as there has been little precipitation so far during a particularly dry winter. Such conditions may increase the threat of firestorm damage and this may be a timely reminder to residents of Riverside. Insurance protection against fire damage should be included in your home insurance package.
CAL FIRE officials recently warned that the lack of snow and rain has led to the driest winter on record. Normally, rain soaked terrain and snow covered mountains act to help reduce the fire threat. With ground cover and vegetation so dry, homeowners are advised to be vigilant in keeping their property clear of excess plant debris. Keeping a defensible space around the home may assist in defending it should a wildfire develop near to the property. A 100-500 foot clearance is often recommended, depending on conditions.
Dry and windy conditions with low humidity may create the ideal conditions for wildfire to spread. After this driest of winters, homeowners may wish to take extra steps to clear debris around their homes. Homeowners in doubt about their insurance coverage should contact their Riverside insurance agent!
