11.  Dynamics of Wildland/Urban Interface Fire  Identifying Hazards in the Home Ignition Zone  Assessing Wildfire Hazards Around Existing Homes  New Construction and Safer Communities

13.  Fuels (Overly Dense, Unhealthy Vegetation)  Weather (Drought, Excessive Temperatures)  Topography (20% Slope)

14. Vegetation Management

18.  Lot was located in heavy vegetation above heavily wooded riparian area  Lot was located on top of a 20% slope  Vegetation Rx was influenced by footprint of home foundation and septic field location

19.  Double-paned, tempered glass  Pinched seam metal roof  Stucco, Stone & cement-board siding  Sealed/ember-resistant openings/penetrations

20.  Additional vegetation spacing related directly to preliminary Rx  Larger trees limbed up and pruned  Fire-resistive vegetation chosen for initial home ignition zone  Use of geology to reduce fire rate of spread/intensity

21.  Exterior construction materials/design had multiple functionality  Current construction/building codes  Ignition resistance  Aesthetics  Durability of materials  Function

22.  Irrigated lawn and gravel next to and under decking & first 5’ out from foundation  Location of septic field/permanently irrigated grass surface on slope
