As summer comes to a close and you enjoy those last few weeks of warm evenings around the fire pit, it's important to keep safety in mind. While fire pits are a great way to extend your outdoor fun, they can also pose risks if not used properly. Here are the fire pit safety tips: 🔥 Keep your fire pit at least 10 feet away from your home, trees, and other structures. 🚫 Never leave a fire unattended. 🚒 Have a hose or fire extinguisher nearby in case of emergency. 🛡️ Use a fire screen to contain sparks and embers. 🌲 Only burn dry, seasoned wood to minimize smoke and prevent excessive sparking. ❌ Avoid using lighter fluid or other accelerants to start or revive the fire. 💧 Make sure the fire is fully extinguished before leaving the area, using water to douse the flames and stirring the ashes until they are cool to the touch. Now is also a good time to review and update your home insurance. Ensuring your coverage is up-to-date can protect you from unexpected accidents. Don't wait for a rainy day! ☔ Contact us today for a free, no-obligation quote.

Tomorrow is Wildfire Community Preparedness Day. The devastating wildfires in California have not only caused immense damage but have also affected the pricing and availability of homeowners insurance across the state. This includes primary residences in suburban areas and popular vacation spots like Napa Valley, Sonoma, and Lake Tahoe. The overall increase in national homeowners claims, coupled with severe natural disasters like hurricanes and tornadoes, has put immense pressure on the insurance industry. This has led to higher premiums and increasing numbers of non-renewals, even for homeowners who have taken measures to protect their properties. Many homeowners are receiving non-renewal notices, even in well-developed areas. While insurance companies can refuse to insure or renew a house, there are options for homeowners facing non-renewals. See what your options are in our article: https://lnkd.in/d6fjfxVA In the face of rising costs and non-renewals, it's essential for homeowners to explore their options carefully. Whether it's finding alternative coverage or considering additional umbrella coverage, understanding these options is vital for protecting your home and assets. You can always talk to us at Sand Hill Global Advisors for your insurance concerns as California homeowners. #WildfirePreparednessDay #HomeownersInsurance #WildfireSafety
