Each week, we will share a practical landscaping or building tip from the Village's Fire Resilient Community Fact Sheet.

Tip 4: Ensure doors are fire-rated and that they seal properly.

All exterior doors, including garage doors, should be fire-rated and have a good seal.

Make sure that all exterior and garage doors are properly fitted and weather stripping is maintained to prevent gaps, where embers could enter and ignite combustible materials.
