What affects fire damage around Diablo

Long dry seasons bring wildfire and wildfire smoke to many communities, while cooler, wetter months mean more indoor heating, cooking and electrical fires. Wildfire smoke is a recurring concern across California, so ask about air filtration and HVAC cleaning if smoke entered your building.

Wildfire smoke can drift into homes far from the flames and leave ash and odor in attics and HVAC systems.
Dry summers make outdoor fires, equipment sparks and fireworks more dangerous.
Older homes and detached garages and workshops add fire risk from wiring, heaters and stored materials.
