Ensure your contractors take fire safety precautions

• Limit welding & cutting to cleared areas.
• Remove all flammable products & flash fuels.
• Maintain the building envelope as a "clear zone" and thin an additional 30-feet to provide adequate defensible space.
• Do not stack wood or other flammable construction materials in defensible space.

Contractors found negligent in maintaining a safe building environment are responsible for damages via fines and/or criminal citations for the cost of providing fire protection services and for property loss.
