FireSafe Marin's April message: Spring Fire Prevention in Zone 0

It’s time to prepare for wildfire. The most important thing you can do to protect your home is to clear combustible materials from the first 5 ft around your house. Then, if a wildfire blows burning embers your way, there is nothing next to your home to ignite. This is called Zone 0 and can be part of a beautiful, fire safe yard.

Adapting to wildfire means being prepared.

Free Hot Water Heater Assessment & Other Ways to Reduce Household Emissions

Heat pump water heaters are a climate-friendly alternative to gas water heaters. But most gas water heaters are replaced when they fail, with another gas one, locking in years of greenhouse gas emissions. Getting a free assessment is a great first step to be ready to replace your gas water heater.

Sign up to get a free assessment of your hot water heater as part of a new Fairfax and San Anselmo pilot program with Ready-Set-Replace.
