Thermo-Gel On The Job In Santa Barbara
Thermo-Gel was on the job in Santa Barbara last week. A homeowner protected his house from the advancing flames of the Jesusita Fire and left a note for firefighters indicating the home had been "gelled".
The images below were provided to me by the fine people at Thermo-Gel. Notice the sign on the porch entrance.
"This House Was Protected With Thermo-Gel"
The flames came right up to the home. This homeowner did many things right, tile roof, stucco siding and an application of gel. He gets a ding for allowing giant oak branches to hang over the house but overall he gets a high B for preparing a home for life in the wildland-urban interface.
Best of all no firefighter had to risk their life to save this home!
