Last summer, my husband and I almost lost our home. We watched the fires close in and only due to luck were we spared. We found Living With Wildfires and purchased it hoping it might make a difference. Well it did! We have since changed our house and made it defensible. We have changed our insurance coverage (you won't believe what you need to do to be covered!) and have made steps to be ready to go if the next fire causes us to have to leave our property. There is nothing out there like it. I thought it a little expensive before I bought it, but I think it is worth every penny. If you live anywhere near where wildfire threatens, you need this book! If you have kids in the area, you really need this book!! It tells you everything you need to know. Thank you Janet Arrowood for writing this book!

This book is amazing. This author lives in the mountains and does not do any of the things this suggests. Can you say Hypocrite???

Why would you buy a book from someone who writes it for money but does not live by the things she professes. I would call the woman and ask her why????

Listen, If you want to live in the mountains in the middle of a pine forest, then the only defense is to cut down all the folliage within flames distance of your home. You will then be living on the side of a barron mountain. This is like writing a book about buying home in the Outer Banks of North Carolina and how to extract water from the basement after the next hurricane. The best defense is replacement insurance.
