SUMMARY:Home Hardening Workshop for Homeowners
DESCRIPTION:Attention Marin Homeowners! Join Fire Safe Marin for a FREE 2-hour seminar on wildfire home-hardening. \n\n5 PM Live Burn Demo and Manufacturer Showcase\n6 PM-7:30 PM Seminar for Homeowners\n\nRecognizing that home-hardening through improved architectural design\, ember and ignition resistant material selection\, and retrofitting existing buildings are the most important factors in improving home survival during wildfires\, Fire Safe Marin has developed a seminar and training curriculum to introduce homeowners to these concepts. \nTaught by experts in the field of wildfire\, home hardening\, and building science\, this seminar will help Marin homeowners to: \n\nIdentify their home’s vulnerabilities to wildfires and embers;\nIntroduce ignition and ember resistant design and materials;\nProvide home-hardening and retrofitting resources;\nEncourage building modifications to reduce the likelihood of structural ignitions during wildfires;\nManufacturer representatives will be on-site to display fire resistant building materials.\n\nWeather permitting\, a live fire demonstration will be conducted at 5PM to demonstrate the differences between ordinary and fire-resistant construction.  \nWHAT DO THE PHRASES “FIRE HARDENED” AND “HARDENING HOMES” MEAN?\n“Fire hardened” describes a building or structure that is prepared for wildfire and an ember storm.
