It’s Not the Flames —
It’s the Embers That Burn Your Home
More than 90% of homes lost in wildfires are ignited by flying embers, not direct flames.
Wind-driven embers can travel miles ahead of the wildfire front, landing in your gutters, vents, decks, and landscaping — igniting fires long before you ever see a flame.
Even homes located 2–3 miles from the forest edge can be reduced to ash in minutes. Fire crews may not be able to reach you in time and sometimes are forced to retreat when overrun by fire and ember storms.
