We also present the controversial option of sheltering in place to actively participate in the defense of your home. In the US, Emergency Management typically only gives one option--evacuate and hope your home survives. But today we are questioning if that is truly the only reasonable option and explore other options used in other parts of the world.

We'll look at what you can do to make your home as defensible as possible. And we'll even discuss our low-cost mobile fire attack unit we set up.

And to finish up, we also talk about our favorite wildland fire alert app for staying up with new and existing fires in your area.
