September 2024
As we step into September, it’s tempting to think that the threat of wildfires might be winding down. But don’t be fooled—September is National Fire Preparedness Month for a reason. As we are seeing, the heat lingers well into October, and as the summer vegetation dries out, the risk of fires only intensifies.
Whether you’re a homeowner, pool owner, or property manager, now is the time to ensure your property is equipped to handle the threat of fire.
