Wildfires and the intense heat associated with these types of fires can send burning embers up into the air. Hot embers can travel several blocks, even miles, in the wind and are the most common way that houses catch fire. Keeping your property and roof clear of debris and gutters clean with a covered gutter system can prevent an ember from igniting a home. Installing a Byers LeafGuard Gutter System will ensure that leaves, sticks and debris won't build up in your gutters ever again. Visit ThatsByers.com for more information.
