YEARS WE HAVE SEEN PLENTY OF PEOPLE TAKE MATTERS INTO THEIR OWN HANDS TRYING TO PROTECT THREI HOME OR BUSINSES FROM A FIRE. SO WHICH METHODS REALLY WORK AND WHHIC COULD ACTUALLY MAKE THINGS WORSE METEOROLOGIST TAMARA BERG HAS THE ANSWERS. A TENSE SITUATION LIKE A FIRE CAN LDEA TO SOME HARD DECISIONS. WE’VE SEEN ANDEA HRD ABOUT SOME UNCONVENTIONAL THINGS PEOPLE HA VE DONE IN AN EFFORT TO SAVE HOMES AND BUSINESSES. SO THAT’S ANOTHER O.NE I HAVEN’T HEARD DANIEL BERLAND WITH CAL FIRE HASIT WNESSED JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING SO WE AEDSK HIM ABOUT THREE METHODS. WE’VE SEEN PEOEPL USE OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. NUMBER ONE SNOW GUNS A TOOL USED TO MAKE SNOW INHE T WINTER AT RESORTS. THIS PROVED TO BE HANDY DURING THE KALDORA FIRE, BUT DOES IT WORK FOR A RESORT THAT HASHE T ACCESS TO THE WATER THAT IS THEIR OWN WATER AS LONG AS THERE’S WATER TO PROCTTE THE STRUCTURES. THAT’S OBVIOUSLY OUR FIRST CONCERN, BUTT I OBVIOUSLY HELPS NUMBER TWO BEER. THAT’S RIGHT. THIS MAN DUMPED DOZENS OF CANS OVER HIS SHOP DURING THE LNU COMPLEX FIRE WATER SIMPLY WA'S’T A CHOICE IT WATUS RNED. UP, SO WE TKOO MATTERS IONTIS H OWN HANDS OBVIOUSLY ADDING MOISTURE THOUGH, YOU KNOW CAN LPHE WITH WITH AN EMBER. BUT AGAIN JUST NOT SOMETHING THAT THAT’S GOING TO AND THE HIGH TEMPERATURES WIND CONDITIONS WHEN WE HAVE WINDY DAYS WHEN THESE FIRES BURN THEY’RE GONNA THEY’RE GONNA EVAPORATE. FOR LCEAN SAYS ALCOHOL HAS A CERTAIN TYPE OF FLAMMABILITY TO ANDIT CAN INTENFYSI A FIRE. SO PUTTING BEER ON A STRUCTURE COULD ACTUALLY BE DANGEROUS. AND NUMBER THREE DIAPERS. SEE YOU’RET A TAHOE RESORT SAID THEY USE DIAPERS TO PROTECT ONE OF THEIR BUILDINGS DINURG THE KAORLD FIRE. COULD THESE BE USED BY OTHERS THERE ARE PRODUCTSOR F FIRE POLES FOR EXAMPLE THAT THE UTILITIES D UOSE TO WRAP AROUND THEIR PESOL TO KEEP THEM INSULATED FMRO THE FLAMES OF FIRE DIAPERS THEMSELVES. AGAIN, THAT’S AIR FST THAT I’VE HEARD DEPENNGDI ON DIAPERS SPRINKLERS SNOW GUNS OR ERBE TO SAVE A HOME FIRE OFFICIALS SAY IT'’ NOT SOMETHING YOU SHOULD DO THE AMOUNT OF EMBERS THE HEAT THAT A WILDFIRE BRINGS IS GOING TO BE NO MATCH TO THE SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER PRESSURE THAT’S COMINGUT O OF A GARDEN HOSE AND A SPRINKLER SYSTEM. FOR LANCE SAYS THE PROCTIOTEN THODME MOST LIKELY TO WORK IS JUST HARDENGNI YOUR HOMEND A ADDING DEFENSIBLE SPACE TAMARA BERG KCRE 3 NEWS AND BOTTOM LINE EARLY EVACUATION IS KEY AS WE’VE BEEN MENTIONING AIF FIRE IS ON ETH APPROACH. GET OUT, PLEASE. DON’T TRY TO SAVE YOUR HOME ON YOUR OWN AND TRYING TO REMOVE MESO OF THOSE FLAMMABLE THINGS NEXT TO YOUR HOUSE. I KNOW BERLANCE TOLD ME THAT BEFORE COULD ACTUALLY HELP BUT THAT’S SOMETHING YOU SHOULD HAVE NEDO A LONG TIMEEFORE B OR DOING RIGHT NOW MAKING SURE WOOD PILES AND THAT SORT OF THING OR REMOVE. YOUR HSEOU AND MAKING SURE YOUR GUTTERS ARE CLEANED ALL THAT SORT OF THING THINGS. YOU SHOULD BE DOING ALL THE TIME IF YOU HAVE A POOL. I KNOW BERLIN TOLD ME THAT YOU COULD TAKE YOUR PATIO FURNITURE AND ACTUALLY THROWT I IN YOUR POOL BECAUSE THAT STUFF IS VERY FLAMMABLE AND IT TENDS TO BE CLOSER TO YOUR HOME AND IT’S JUST ONE MORTHIN
