Smoke Alarms: Make Them Work for You

Harden Your Home Against Wildfires

Our team frequently responds to outdoor fires caused by downed power lines or sparking transformers. Fortunately, we have been able to consistently take quick action to prevent the fires from becoming a major threat. As we are currently experiencing a very dry time of year in Bent Tree, the potential for wildland fires has greatly increased. With fall fast approaching, the changing colors will soon lead to dangerous accumulations of dried vegetation from leaves and grasses.
