CALIFORNIA LIVING: FIRE SAFE: CONTROLLING NATURE'S WRATH
California Living: Fire Safe is a comprehensive guide on how to manage the risks associated with wildfires, particularly in a state that frequently experiences such natural threats. This resource emphasizes the importance of proactive measures that homeowners and communities can take to safeguard their properties against potential fire hazards.
The guide details a variety of low-cost maintenance projects that homeowners can implement, which not only enhance fire safety but also contribute to overall property upkeep. These projects range from simple yard maintenance to more extensive modifications that can significantly reduce fire risks.
Key Elements of Fire Safety:
Landscaping: Select fire-resistant plants and maintain a defensible space around your home. This can include:
Removing dead vegetation and debris from gutters and roofs
Keeping grass well-watered and neatly trimmed
Spacing trees and shrubs appropriately to minimize the spread of fire
Building Materials: Use non-combustible building materials for roofing and siding. Consider:
Installing metal or Class A fire-rated shingles
Utilizing stucco or brick siding
Choosing tempered glass for windows
Shaded Areas: Create shaded areas around your property with non-flammable materials, which can help prevent fire from reaching your home.
Beyond landscaping and building modifications, active measures also play a crucial role in controlling nature's wrath. Regularly maintain the following:
Chimneys: Clean chimneys and stovepipes at least once a year to prevent creosote buildup.
Firebreaks: Establish firebreaks to halt the spread of fire by creating a cleared area devoid of vegetation.
Emergency Plans: Formulate and practice an emergency evacuation plan that includes multiple routes and a designated meeting place.
Community Involvement: It is also essential to engage with your neighborhood and local authorities regarding fire safety plans. Working together can yield better results in fire prevention and response. Consider:
Forming neighborhood watch groups focused on fire safety
Participating in local fire safety workshops and training sessions
Staying informed on current wildfire threats and warnings through local news and community alerts
Ultimately, implementing these fire safety measures not only protects your home but also contributes to a culture of preparedness within the community. The upfront effort you invest in improving fire safety is invaluable, as it fosters resilience against nature's potential wrath.
By taking decisive action, you can ensure that your home and loved ones are better protected against the unpredictable nature of wildfires, reinforcing the idea that being fire safe is an ongoing commitment that pays dividends in peace of mind.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
