Fire, Fuel & Live Cooking · Wildfire Visual Guide
See how wildfire moves through a property.
Ten original Apollo education boards turn the Home Ignition Zone, ember pathways, defensible space, fire-weather decisions, smoke continuity and recovery into a visual planning system.How to use the boards
Visual explanation first. Local requirements still control.
The boards are educational diagrams, not hazard ratings, code determinations or substitutes for local wildfire/WUI/bushfire guidance. Each one links into the detailed Apollo guide and, where useful, the matching interactive planning tool.Wildfire visual guide · Board 01
Home Ignition Zone
Start at the home and work outward.A visual overview of the house and surrounding ignition zones, with the first few feet around the structure treated as the highest-priority maintenance area.
Wildfire visual guide · Board 02
Ember Pathways
An ember becomes dangerous when it finds fuel.Shows how small ember landings can become connected ignition pathways through debris, openings, decks and attached elements.
Wildfire visual guide · Board 03
Roofs, Gutters & Vents
Ember entry often starts high on the building.A detailed roofline study showing where debris can collect, where embers can enter and why ventilation and ember resistance need to be solved together.
Wildfire visual guide · Board 04
Decks, Fences & Outdoor Living
Attached outdoor elements can become transfer points.Treats decks, fences, furnishings and under-deck storage as one connected system rather than separate outdoor-living features.
Wildfire visual guide · Board 05
Firewood, Storage & Movable Fuels
Stored materials can turn a small ignition into a larger event.Shows how firewood, bins, cushions, stored equipment and other movable combustibles can change the near-building fuel picture.
Wildfire visual guide · Board 06
Defensible Space & Vegetation
Reduce fuel continuity while keeping the landscape workable.Explains the landscape side of wildfire resilience: spacing, dead-fuel removal, ladder-fuel reduction and repeated maintenance from the home outward.
Wildfire visual guide · Board 07
Red Flag Days & Before You Light
Read the day before using outdoor fire.Connects fire-weather alerts, burn restrictions, wind and dry fuels to the practical decision to delay outdoor fire use.
Wildfire visual guide · Board 08
Smoke & Clean-Air Refuge
Plan one lower-load room for smoke days.A room-level planning board for wildfire-smoke periods when official guidance supports staying indoors, with evacuation remaining the overriding instruction.
Wildfire visual guide · Board 09
Seasonal Property Checklist
Wildfire resilience is a maintenance cycle.Turns wildfire resilience into a repeated property-maintenance cycle rather than a one-time clean-up or product purchase.
Wildfire visual guide · Board 10
Post-Wildfire Re-entry & Recovery
Recover the property and the record.A calm recovery sequence built around official re-entry clearance, qualified inspection, documentation and rebuilding the property record as repairs proceed.
