Things We Can Do To Protect Our Truckee Real Estate
As we are all aware, fires have been raging all over California. While we have been safe in Truckee, we have certainly been aware of the fires with our smoky skies and warnings from health officials to stay indoors and limit our outdoor activities. Below are Defensible Space recommendations provided by the Tahoe Donner Forestry Department. If you don’t have time to do the work yourselves, there are many resources that you can hire to get the job done.
Check list of fire safety items around your home -

- Pine needles must be removed from the roof of all structures
- Pine needles on the ground must be removed within 10 feet of all structures
- Limbs must be removed from within 10 feet of the chimney
