When a wildfire is coming, is your home ready?

Californians can teach Oklahoma a thing or two about wildfire preparedness

What happened in places like Mannford and Bristow and Drumright over the weekend, can happen anywhere in Green Country right now.

Quick!

Wildfire is coming.

Wildfires are to many Californians what tornadoes are to us, a fact of life.

Is your home ready?

They prepare for wildfires the way we prepare for tornado season.

Because we know that being ready can save lives and property.

Something you prepare for..in order to save lives and property when the time comes.

So, what can we learn from Californians about wildfire preparedness?

Quite a bit actually, like remembering to clean dead leaves from our gutters or keeping tree branches at least 10 feet from our house.

Cal Fire's put together a very helpful website, readyforwildfire.org.

Much of the information and most of the tips apply whether your home is in the Sierra Nevada mountains or the open prairie of the Sooner State.
