🏡 Fall is a great time to brush up on fire safety. Test smoke alarms, clear leaves and debris from roofs and gutters, move firewood away from your home, keep grills and fire pits clear of vegetation, and remove dead plants. Small steps can reduce fire risk.

ALT A checklist is displayed on a clipboard with several green checkmarks. Icons for tasks include trimming trees, watering, pruning, and clearing brush, along with fire safety symbols. A pen rests on the clipboard. In the background, there is a stylized house illustration. The Texas A&M Forest Service logo is visible in the bottom right corner.
