Its notice still urges year-round vigilance and offers courtesy wildfire risk assessments for properties in its jurisdiction. This is a useful reminder that a roof should be considered as part of the area around a home, regardless of the day&#8217;s restriction level. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cazfire.gov\/369\/Wildland-Fires\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read CAFMA\u2019s local notice and assessment guidance.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Why the roof edge matters<\/h2>\n<p>Embers can collect in roof valleys and gutters. The National Fire Protection Association recommends removing leaves, pine needles, and other debris from these areas and considering fire-resistant materials during improvements.
