10 Things You Need to Know: How to Survive a Wildfire in the US

‍

Wildfires are a major threat in the United States, and even a small one can have a devastating impact. Thankfully, there are several ways to survive a wildfire in the US. You can help protect your home from being destroyed by wildfires. Here are some important tips for surviving a wildfire in the US:

‍

Don’t give in to the urge to leave your home

As incredible as it is, to say the least, people who will not leave a home are going to become more susceptible to the elements and least likely to survive the fire. 

This means you should be mindful of the urge to leave your home, especially if you have been there for a while. It can also mean you will be less likely to stay in contact with loved ones if you are not around.

‍

Don’t let heat damage get the better of you

As with any fire, once the first flag of fire flares, it’s pretty much put out. In the west, many of these spots will be too hot to stay in. 

Remember to wear WET layers and a scarf when it’s really hot outside. Remember to step away from the fire if you can, as it can be very hot inside.

‍

Walk away from home before it’s too late

If you are in a remote area and can’t be there to help, you should probably walk away from the home. 

This may seem like a logical decision, but remember, you are only as safe as your house and you will be out in the elements for a long time. If your home is close to a fire, it could be too late to put out the fire. Just stay inside until the fire has gone out. Only then can you walk away from your home.

‍

Get enough shut-in air before it gets worse 

This is important because when the air inside your home is too hot to handle, the fire will quickly turn to water and then to water vapor (air). 

This can easily happen in a small home when the walls get crowded and the air is nasty enough to contain the heat.

‍

Stay hydrated and safe from the cold

This is important because even though the cold can be a turn-off for some, it is helpful when it comes to fighting fires. It keeps the fire away and helps you stay alert. Remember, the more cover you have, the easier it will be to fight the fire.

‍

Enjoy a cool day while it lasts

The only way to stay safe from a wildfire is to enjoy a cool day while it lasts. It could be as simple as closing the windows and letting some of the air out of the house before it gets too hot for you to stay inside. 

Remember, you will be fighting fire for the next few months, and there is no telling how hot it could get inside.

‍

Don’t let wildfire plans keep you from going out and about

If you are staying in a home that is prone to fires, it can be difficult to get out and about. It is hard to move when the house is so close to the fire. 

This is why you should stay out of your house only when it is completely dark and you must be out in the elements. This will keep the fire out and allow you to better protect yourself and your home.

‍

Do what you can to mow your grass before it burns down

As easy as it is to say, no lawn is safe from wildfire. It is no good when it is already burned, it is already soggy, and it is already brown. 

It is also no good when it is already rained on, and it is already muddy. You should always cut your grass in advance of a wildfire so it will be ready and able to fight back.

‍

Step up your renovations if necessary

The only way to keep your home safe and habitable is to keep it from getting out of control. This can be very difficult when the fire is still very much in the air. 

It is hard to put out a fire when it is so close to the ground, and your home is so close to the house that you can’t see the flames.

‍

Learn how to navigate a wildfire and how to stay ahead of the storm

It can be hard to stay ahead of the storm when the winds are howling and you are fighting a large fire. It can be even more difficult when it is just a small fire on the ground. 

You should stay close to the house and be aware of what is happening in the neighborhood. If you see a fire approaching, stay put until it is out. Don’t run out to help, just wait it out. If you do see a fire near you, stay where you are, out of the way, and as far away from it as possible.

‍

Conclusion

It is important to remember that even though a wildfire can be incredibly difficult to fight, it will come to an end. Once the fire has been put out, it can be very difficult to get back. It is important to take care of yourself and your home while it lasts. If you have been lucky enough to find a safe home and are prepared to defend it, then you will have a much better chance of survival in a wildfire than you ever would have in a fire alone.
