Ember Threat
• Roof Covering
– Noncombustible Covering • Debris free is the key – Roof Lines (complex vs simple roof)
– Gutters – Reentrant Corners
• Openings
– Vents, Garage Doors, Windows

Radiant and Direct Flame Contact Threat
• Vertical Wall – Combustible siding and windows
– Potential interaction with other components on the wall (windows, eave, deck, etc.)
• Topography – Slope – Setback
• Fire spread to the building – Fence, gazebos, etc.
– Vegetation management , continuity of fuels
