"So, I decided you know what, I'm going to protect my home as best I possibly could.
"The wall, the shutters, the garage doors, all of the features on the house are non-combustible," said Anne Cope of the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety. "Most Californians already have a class A roof. You can install mesh over your attic vents to keep the embers out."
