Week 2 – What Makes a Fence Fire-Proof? (Spoiler: It’s Not Magic, It’s Science!)

Safety & Educational Series: Week 2

When you think of wildfire defense, fencing might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But the materials you choose can mean the difference between a fence that fuels the flames and one that slows them down.

Here’s the breakdown in plain English:

• Steel: Think of it as the heavyweight champion. It takes extreme heat—up to 2,500°F—before it even thinks about giving in. That’s hotter than lava. Literally.

• Aluminum: The sleek sprinter of the fencing world. Lightweight, rust-resistant, and surprisingly tough in a wildfire.

• Durability: Both materials not only resist fire but also endure harsh weather conditions.

The science may sound serious, but it all boils down to one goal: keeping your property safer when wildfire season hits.

Tune in next week for Week 3, where we’ll uncover the biggest “oops” moments homeowners make when picking fences in fire zones.
