It might sound simple, but if you only have the time to do one thing to safeguard your home or property from wildfire then mow the grass! Short grass helps slow down fast-moving grass fires. By keeping the grass short around your house, outbuilding and gas tanks, you will help protect against the spread of wildfire. You can even use livestock to graze around outbuildings to keep the grass trimmed.
