You should tend your property before fire season "not!" when fire season normally begins. You should keep your brush mowed close to the ground, rake most of it up and trim trees of dead limbs and other branches 8 feet from the ground ( fruit trees not included). Also clean those areas around your house and buildings, the nooks and corners, of leaves and other debris. Start a compost pile or bin away from your house or buildings for all the debris. Have enough hose to fight fires about 200 feet from your home and structures, multiple spigots around the property are very helpful.
