There is a company selling attic vent covers that have a 8th inch metal mesh that is supposed to keep embers out. Ive always thought, if I had time I’d tape aluminum foil over my vent covers if I have some notice. I’ve thought there should be a sliding vent cover w a little motor connected w blue tooth so you can just close the vents remotely. But the mesh for all vent covers is worth looking into.
You can buy a fire retardant compound to paint your eaves with. I’m out of town and will look into that when I get home.
And this is more niche, and should have been available long ago. You can buy a gas powered generator with a pump you can put in your pool. Throws out a lot more water than a garden hose.
I’ve known people that may have saved their houses by themselves. A goy in the Laguna, and a couple of guys in Malibu. One of them ended up in the hospital for about a week. So there is that.
And we’re going to be getting rid of some trees around our house.
Seems like insurance companies should factor in preventative measures.
