Is your home Firewise?
As a homeowner you must realize that the threat of wildfire is real. Minnesota alone has more that 2,200 fires a year.
Fire is an inherent danger to having a home in the woods, but that doesn't mean you can't something about it. In fact, creating a defensible space around your house will enable your home to survive a wildfire.
