A SOLID WALL OF FIRE hundreds of feet high rages toward your home,
turning each dry leaf, twig and blade of grass into a roaring blaze
so hot that everything in its path literally explodes into flame
Within moments your property is engulfed and destroyed by a
horrific inferno in which the very air seems to be burning. This
scenario is not something out of a summer blockbuster movie. It is
a situation that is all too real, all too terrifying, and is
repeated worldwide many hundreds of times every year as raging
wildfires in urban wildland areas destroy property and shatter
lives. Yet always, with every such firestorm, one or two homes
survive unscathed while all around become blackened cinders. A
quirk of fate? A shift in the wind? No. Simply planning ahead. As a
professional firefighter, author Ron Harmon has seen over and over
that by taking a few simple precautions-BY PLANNING NOW for that
absolutely certain to arrive day when the searing brush fire WILL
come racing across the fields, up the hills and through the
canyons-you can stop that wall of flame cold in its tracks, turning
away certain destruction, saving the lives of your family and pets
as well as your home property. FIRESTORM tells you step-by-step the
what, where, when, why and how of fire prevention that you must use
to stop the coming conflagration. Read this vital information and
follow the easy guidelines, so you will be able to beat the odds
and escape disaster. Initially published for the City of Los
Angeles, California, which has a long history of catastrophic brush
fires that have claimed many lives and resulted in extensive
property loss, FIRESTORM will assist residents in any community
where there is an "urban-wildland interface" to understand the
importance of brush fire safety and prevention.
