  Eric

  G.
• 0:33
  This
• 0:33
  is
• 0:33
  our
• 0:33
  midweek
• 0:34
  show.
• 0:34
  This
• 0:34
  is
• 0:35
  that
• 0:35
  special
• 0:35
  that
• 0:35
  we
• 0:35
  do
• 0:36
  that
• 0:36
  doesn't
• 0:37
  cover
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  stuff
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  we
• 0:37
  touched
• 0:38
  on
• 0:38
  last
• 0:38
  weekend.
• 0:39
  Of
• 0:39
  course,
• 0:39
  what
• 0:39
  we're
• 0:39
  not
• 0:39
  going
• 0:40
  to
• 0:40
  get
• 0:40
  to
• 0:40
  this
• 0:40
  coming
• 0:41
  weekend.
• 0:42
  And
• 0:42
  today,
• 0:43
  since
• 0:43
  we
• 0:44
  are
• 0:44
  creeping
• 0:44
  up
• 0:45
  closer
• 0:46
  to
• 0:46
  the
• 0:46
  Fourth
• 0:46
  of
• 0:46
  July,
• 0:47
  I
• 0:47
  wanted
• 0:47
  to
• 0:47
  talk
• 0:48
  about
• 0:48
  this
• 0:48
  subject
• 0:48
  because
• 0:48
  I
• 0:49
  think
• 0:49
  it's
• 0:49
  really
• 0:49
  important
• 0:49
  for
• 0:50
  homeowners
• 0:51
  across
• 0:51
  the
• 0:52
  country.
• 0:53
  We
• 0:53
  have
• 0:54
  such
• 0:54
  dry
• 0:55
  areas
• 0:55
  in
• 0:55
  certain
• 0:55
  places.
• 0:56
  Could
• 0:57
  be
• 0:57
  down
• 0:57
  in
• 0:57
  the
• 0:57
  south,
• 0:58
  it
• 0:58
  could
• 0:58
  be
• 0:58
  in
• 0:58
  the
• 0:58
  Pacific
• 0:59
  Northwest,
• 1:00
  it
• 1:00
  could
• 1:00
  be
• 1:00
  in
• 1:00
  California.
• 1:02
  But
• 1:02
  I
• 1:02
  want
• 1:02
  to
• 1:02
  talk
• 1:02
  about
• 1:02
  a
• 1:03
  little
• 1:03
  bit
• 1:03
  about
• 1:03
  doing
• 1:04
  some
• 1:04
  yard
• 1:04
  work
• 1:05
  and
• 1:05
  making
• 1:06
  the
• 1:06
  most
• 1:06
  defensible
• 1:07
  space
• 1:07
  around
• 1:08
  your
• 1:08
  house
• 1:08
  for
• 1:08
  fire
• 1:09
  because
• 1:10
  really
• 1:10
  we're
• 1:10
  seeing
• 1:10
  this
• 1:11
  as
• 1:11
  a
• 1:11
  nationwide
• 1:12
  problem
• 1:12
  right
• 1:12
  now.
• 1:13
  It
• 1:13
  doesn't
• 1:13
  matter
• 1:14
  where
• 1:14
  you
• 1:14
  are.
• 1:14
  If
• 1:15
  the
• 1:15
  neighbor's
• 1:15
  house
• 1:15
  catches
• 1:16
  on
• 1:16
  fire
• 1:16
  or
• 1:17
  something
• 1:17
  two
• 1:18
  or
• 1:18
  three
• 1:18
  doors
• 1:18
  down
• 1:18
  and
• 1:19
  you've
• 1:19
  got
• 1:19
  a
• 1:19
  wind
• 1:19
  going,
• 1:20
  you've
• 1:20
  got
• 1:21
  a
• 1:21
  problem.
• 1:22
  And
• 1:22
  so
• 1:22
  I
• 1:22
  wanted
• 1:22
  to
• 1:23
  talk
• 1:23
  a
• 1:23
  little
• 1:23
  bit
• 1:23
  about
• 1:23
  that
• 1:23
  today.
• 1:24
  So,
• 1:25
  for
• 1:25
  instance,
• 1:25
  here
• 1:26
  in
• 1:26
  my
• 1:26
  area,
• 1:26
  70%
• 1:27
  of
• 1:28
  our
• 1:28
  wildfires
• 1:29
  here
• 1:29
  are
• 1:29
  human
• 1:29
  caused.
• 1:31
  So
• 1:31
  that's
• 1:32
  a
• 1:32
  big
• 1:32
  issue.
• 1:33
  And
• 1:33
  we're
• 1:33
  right
• 1:34
  in
• 1:34
  the
• 1:34
  middle
• 1:34
  of
• 1:34
  a
• 1:34
  drought
• 1:35
  out
• 1:35
  here.
• 1:35
  Just
• 1:36
  because
• 1:36
  we
• 1:36
  didn't
• 1:36
  get
• 1:37
  any
• 1:37
  snow
• 1:37
  this
• 1:37
  last
• 1:37
  year,
• 1:38
  really,
• 1:38
  we
• 1:38
  got
• 1:38
  some,
• 1:39
  but
• 1:40
  we
• 1:40
  hadn't,
• 1:40
  we
• 1:41
  have
• 1:41
  not
• 1:41
  had
• 1:42
  enough
• 1:42
  by
• 1:43
  any
• 1:43
  means.
• 1:44
  And
• 1:45
  that's
• 1:45
  gonna
• 1:46
  really
• 1:46
  cause
• 1:47
  some
• 1:47
  issues
• 1:47
  for
• 1:47
  us
• 1:48
  as
• 1:48
  we
• 1:48
  get
• 1:49
  deeper
• 1:49
  into
• 1:49
  summer
• 1:50
  and
• 1:50
  other
• 1:50
  places.
• 1:51
  When
• 1:51
  I
• 1:51
  was
• 1:51
  down
• 1:51
  in
• 1:51
  Florida
• 1:52
  in
• 1:52
  February,
• 1:52
  man,
• 1:53
  they
• 1:53
  were
• 1:53
  in
• 1:53
  a
• 1:53
  drought.
• 1:54
  It
• 1:54
  was
• 1:54
  a
• 1:55
  mess.
• 1:56
  I
• 1:56
  feel
• 1:56
  bad
• 1:56
  for
• 1:56
  them
• 1:56
  because
• 1:56
  they
• 1:57
  had
• 1:57
  a
• 1:57
  lot
• 1:57
  of
• 1:57
  fuel
• 1:58
  from
• 1:58
  all
• 1:58
  the
• 1:59
  freezes
• 2:00
  that
• 2:00
  was
• 2:00
  going
• 2:01
  to
• 2:01
  cause
• 2:01
  some
• 2:01
  issues
• 2:01
  there.
• 2:02
  So
• 2:02
  really,
• 2:04
  let's
• 2:04
  talk
• 2:04
  about
• 2:04
  the
• 2:05
  zones
• 2:05
  around
• 2:05
  your
• 2:05
  house
• 2:06
  real
• 2:06
  quick
• 2:06
  and
• 2:06
  just
• 2:06
  make
• 2:06
  sure
• 2:07
  that
• 2:07
  you've
• 2:07
  got
• 2:07
  that
• 2:08
  dialed
• 2:08
  in
• 2:08
  where
• 2:09
  it
• 2:09
  needs
• 2:09
  to
• 2:09
  be.
• 2:10
  So
• 2:10
  your
• 2:10
  first
• 2:11
  zone
• 2:11
  is
• 2:11
  zone
• 2:11
  zero.
• 2:12
  That
• 2:13
  is
• 2:13
  from
• 2:13
  zero
• 2:14
  to
• 2:14
  five
• 2:14
  feet
• 2:15
  around
• 2:16
  your
• 2:16
  home.
• 2:17
  This
• 2:18
  is
• 2:18
  where
• 2:18
  you
• 2:18
  need
• 2:18
  to
• 2:18
  have
• 2:18
  an
• 2:19
  ember
• 2:19
  resistant,
• 2:20
  no
• 2:20
  fuel
• 2:21
  area,
• 2:22
  gravel,
• 2:22
  pavers,
• 2:24
  concrete,
• 2:25
  sorry
• 2:26
  guys,
• 2:26
  mulch.
• 2:27
  That's
• 2:27
  going
• 2:28
  to
• 2:28
  be
• 2:28
  a
• 2:28
  problem.
• 2:29
  That
• 2:29
  is
• 2:30
  something
• 2:30
  that's
• 2:30
  going
• 2:30
  to
• 2:30
  catch
• 2:30
  on
• 2:31
  fire.
• 2:31
  So
• 2:32
  no
• 2:32
  molts
• 2:32
  around
• 2:33
  there
• 2:33
  Use
• 2:33
  some
• 2:33
  decorative
• 2:34
  rock,
• 2:34
  come
• 2:34
  up
• 2:35
  with
• 2:35
  something
• 2:35
  that's
• 2:35
  going
• 2:35
  to
• 2:35
  look
• 2:36
  great
• 2:36
  and
• 2:36
  then
• 2:37
  remove
• 2:37
  all
• 2:37
  dead
• 2:38
  vegetation,
• 2:38
  debris,
• 2:39
  plants,
• 2:39
  firewood,
• 2:40
  furniture,
• 2:40
  all
• 2:40
  that
• 2:41
  other
• 2:41
  stuff
• 2:42
  and
• 2:42
  clean
• 2:42
  out
• 2:42
  under
• 2:43
  decks
• 2:43
  and
• 2:43
  porches.
• 2:44
  So
• 2:44
  zero
• 2:45
  to
• 2:45
  five
• 2:45
  feet
• 2:46
  you're
• 2:46
  going
• 2:46
  to
• 2:47
  try
• 2:47
  to
• 2:47
  get
• 2:47
  rid
• 2:47
  of
• 2:47
  everything
• 2:49
  that's
• 2:49
  combustible
• 2:49
  there.
• 2:50
  And
• 2:50
  then
• 2:51
  zone
• 2:51
  one,
• 2:51
  which
• 2:52
  is
• 2:52
  five
• 2:52
  to
• 2:52
  30ft
• 2:53
  from
• 2:53
  there,
• 2:54
  you
• 2:55
  want
• 2:55
  to
• 2:55
  be
• 2:55
  lean,
• 2:56
  clean
• 2:56
  and
• 2:56
  green.
• 2:57
  Keep
• 2:57
  the
• 2:57
  grass
• 2:58
  short.
• 2:59
  Remove
• 2:59
  any
• 2:59
  dead
• 3:00
  dry
• 3:00
  plants,
• 3:01
  spaces
• 3:02
  around
• 3:02
  those
• 3:03
  trees
• 3:03
  and
• 3:03
  shrubs,
• 3:04
  prune
• 3:05
  low
• 3:05
  branches
• 3:06
  and
• 3:06
  maintain
• 3:06
  a
• 3:07
  horizontal
• 3:07
  spacing
• 3:08
  between
• 3:08
  canopies.
• 3:09
  This
• 3:09
  is
• 3:09
  something
• 3:10
  what
• 3:10
  you
• 3:10
  want
• 3:10
  to
• 3:10
  do
• 3:10
  here
• 3:11
  is
• 3:11
  just
• 3:12
  keep
• 3:12
  that
• 3:12
  from
• 3:13
  being
• 3:14
  another
• 3:14
  place
• 3:14
  that
• 3:15
  a
• 3:15
  fire
• 3:15
  can
• 3:15
  start.
• 3:17
  So
• 3:17
  keep
• 3:17
  it
• 3:18
  as
• 3:18
  cleaned
• 3:18
  up.
• 3:19
  And
• 3:19
  if
• 3:19
  you're
• 3:19
  not
• 3:20
  watering
• 3:20
  your
• 3:20
  grass,
• 3:21
  you
• 3:21
  need
• 3:21
  to
• 3:21
  keep
• 3:21
  that
• 3:21
  green
• 3:22
  because
• 3:22
  that's
• 3:23
  going
• 3:23
  to
• 3:23
  be
• 3:23
  its
• 3:23
  own
• 3:23
  problem.
• 3:24
  White
• 3:25
  grass
• 3:25
  or
• 3:25
  brown
• 3:26
  grass
• 3:26
  that
• 3:26
  catches
• 3:27
  on
• 3:27
  fire
• 3:27
  easy
• 3:27
  and
• 3:28
  that's
• 3:28
  going
• 3:28
  to
• 3:28
  be
• 3:28
  fuel
• 3:28
  right
• 3:29
  up
• 3:29
  to
• 3:29
  your
• 3:29
  house.
• 3:30
  Now
• 3:31
  one
• 3:31
  thing
• 3:31
  here
• 3:31
  too
• 3:32
  that
• 3:32
  you
• 3:32
  noticed,
• 3:33
  if
• 3:33
  you've
• 3:33
  got
• 3:33
  a
• 3:34
  fence
• 3:34
  coming
• 3:34
  up
• 3:34
  to
• 3:35
  the
• 3:35
  house,
• 3:35
  a
• 3:36
  fire
• 3:36
  will
• 3:37
  chase
• 3:37
  that
• 3:37
  fence
• 3:38
  if
• 3:39
  it's
• 3:39
  wood.
• 3:40
  So
• 3:40
  you
• 3:40
  always
• 3:40
  want
• 3:40
  to
• 3:41
  put
• 3:41
  in
• 3:41
  metal.
• 3:43
  You
• 3:43
  could
• 3:43
  go
• 3:43
  steel,
• 3:44
  you
• 3:44
  could
• 3:44
  go
• 3:45
  chain
• 3:45
  link.
• 3:45
  There's
• 3:45
  a
• 3:46
  lot
• 3:46
  of
• 3:46
  different
• 3:46
  things
• 3:46
  you
• 3:46
  can
• 3:46
  do
• 3:46
  for
• 3:47
  that
• 3:47
  zone
• 3:47
  zero.
• 3:47
  But
• 3:48
  you'd
• 3:48
  never
• 3:48
  want
• 3:48
  that
• 3:48
  wood
• 3:49
  fence
• 3:49
  coming
• 3:49
  up
• 3:50
  to
• 3:50
  the
• 3:50
  house.
• 3:51
  Change
• 3:51
  over
• 3:52
  to
• 3:52
  a
• 3:52
  metal
• 3:52
  gate,
• 3:52
  do
• 3:53
  something
• 3:53
  to
• 3:54
  mix
• 3:54
  that
• 3:54
  up
• 3:54
  so
• 3:55
  you're
• 3:55
  not
• 3:55
  just
• 3:56
  doesn't
• 3:56
  look
• 3:56
  like
• 3:57
  one
• 3:57
  big
• 3:57
  wick
• 3:58
  heading
• 3:58
  to
• 3:58
  your
• 3:59
  house.
• 3:59
  Because
• 3:59
  I
• 4:00
  tell
• 4:00
  you
• 4:00
  what,
• 4:00
  I've
• 4:00
  seen
• 4:00
  more
• 4:00
  house
• 4:01
  fires
• 4:01
  where
• 4:01
  that's
• 4:02
  that
• 4:02
  fence
• 4:02
  took
• 4:02
  the
• 4:03
  house
• 4:03
  down.
• 4:04
  And
• 4:04
  then
• 4:04
  zone
• 4:05
  two,
• 4:06
  reduced
• 4:07
  fuels
• 4:07
  fuel,
• 4:08
  thin
• 4:08
  your
• 4:08
  trees
• 4:08
  and
• 4:09
  shrubs,
• 4:09
  give
• 4:10
  nice
• 4:10
  spacing
• 4:10
  around
• 4:11
  stuff
• 4:11
  and
• 4:11
  then
• 4:11
  remove
• 4:11
  all
• 4:12
  the
• 4:12
  dead
• 4:12
  material
• 4:13
  and
• 4:13
  that
• 4:14
  will
• 4:14
  slow
• 4:14
  the
• 4:14
  fire
• 4:15
  spread.
• 4:16
  And
• 4:16
  then
• 4:16
  the
• 4:16
  one
• 4:17
  that
• 4:17
  always
• 4:17
  gets
• 4:17
  forgotten
• 4:18
  is
• 4:18
  clearing
• 4:19
  those
• 4:19
  roofs
• 4:20
  and
• 4:20
  gutters
• 4:20
  of
• 4:21
  pine
• 4:21
  needles
• 4:21
  leaves.
• 4:22
  Whether
• 4:22
  it's
• 4:22
  a
• 4:23
  palm
• 4:23
  tree
• 4:23
  or
• 4:23
  pine
• 4:24
  tree,
• 4:25
  get
• 4:25
  that
• 4:25
  stuff
• 4:26
  out
• 4:26
  of
• 4:26
  there
• 4:27
  because
• 4:27
  that
• 4:27
  is
• 4:27
  just
• 4:27
  like
• 4:28
  trying
• 4:28
  to
• 4:28
  start
• 4:28
  a
• 4:28
  campfire.
• 4:29
  Take
• 4:30
  those
• 4:30
  garbage
• 4:30
  bins,
• 4:31
  vehicles,
• 4:31
  RVs,
• 4:32
  keep
• 4:32
  away
• 4:32
  from
• 4:32
  the
• 4:32
  house.
• 4:33
  Now
• 4:34
  one
• 4:34
  thing
• 4:34
  I
• 4:35
  did
• 4:35
  learn
• 4:36
  with
• 4:36
  the
• 4:36
  Pacific
• 4:37
  Palisades
• 4:37
  fire,
• 4:38
  I
• 4:39
  had
• 4:39
  friends
• 4:40
  that
• 4:40
  we
• 4:40
  talked
• 4:41
  about
• 4:41
  their
• 4:41
  remodel.
• 4:42
  He's
• 4:43
  been
• 4:43
  on
• 4:43
  the
• 4:43
  show
• 4:43
  before.
• 4:44
  He
• 4:45
  did
• 4:45
  all
• 4:45
  the
• 4:46
  class
• 4:46
  A
• 4:47
  fire
• 4:47
  rated
• 4:48
  stuff.
• 4:49
  He
• 4:49
  had
• 4:50
  all
• 4:50
  of
• 4:50
  those
• 4:51
  pieces
• 4:52
  and
• 4:52
  it
• 4:52
  still
• 4:53
  didn't
• 4:53
  matter
• 4:53
  when
• 4:54
  they
• 4:54
  had
• 4:54
  a
• 4:54
  30
• 4:54
  mile
• 4:55
  an
• 4:55
  hour
• 4:55
  wind.
• 4:56
  So
• 4:56
  once
• 4:56
  that
• 4:57
  fire
• 4:57
  gets
• 4:57
  going
• 4:58
  and
• 4:58
  if
• 4:58
  you've
• 4:58
  got
• 4:58
  a
• 4:58
  win
• 4:59
  behind
• 4:59
  it
• 5:00
  even
• 5:00
  going,
• 5:01
  I
• 5:01
  spent
• 5:01
  some
• 5:02
  money
• 5:02
  and
• 5:02
  put
• 5:02
  a
• 5:02
  class
• 5:02
  A
• 5:03
  roof
• 5:03
  on
• 5:03
  it.
• 5:04
  Yeah,
• 5:05
  that
• 5:05
  can
• 5:05
  help.
• 5:06
  The
• 5:06
  problem
• 5:07
  that
• 5:07
  we
• 5:07
  see
• 5:07
  is
• 5:08
  with
• 5:08
  wind
• 5:09
  is
• 5:10
  that
• 5:11
  those
• 5:11
  vent
• 5:11
  covers
• 5:13
  or
• 5:13
  those
• 5:13
  vents
• 5:13
  coming
• 5:14
  into
• 5:14
  attic
• 5:14
  spaces
• 5:15
  or
• 5:15
  crawl
• 5:15
  spaces,
• 5:16
  those
• 5:17
  really
• 5:17
  can
• 5:18
  get
• 5:18
  a
• 5:18
  house
• 5:19
  fire
• 5:19
  going
• 5:19
  and
• 5:19
  it
• 5:20
  doesn't
• 5:20
  take
• 5:20
  much.
• 5:21
  So
• 5:22
  think
• 5:22
  about
• 5:22
  that
• 5:22
  a
• 5:22
  little
• 5:22
  bit.
• 5:23
  They
• 5:24
  do
• 5:24
  make
• 5:24
  fire
• 5:25
  rated
• 5:25
  vents
• 5:25
  out
• 5:25
  there
• 5:26
  now.
• 5:26
  So
• 5:26
  if
• 5:26
  you're
• 5:26
  in
• 5:26
  a
• 5:27
  big
• 5:27
  area
• 5:27
  for
• 5:28
  that
• 5:28
  is
• 5:28
  something
• 5:28
  to
• 5:29
  think
• 5:29
  about
• 5:29
  maybe
• 5:30
  swapping
• 5:30
  that
• 5:30
  out.
• 5:31
  It
• 5:31
  is
• 5:31
  a
• 5:31
  big,
• 5:31
  big
• 5:31
  project.
• 5:33
  But
• 5:33
  make
• 5:34
  sure
• 5:34
  that
• 5:34
  you've
• 5:34
  got
• 5:34
  those
• 5:35
  eaves
• 5:36
  events
• 5:37
  clean.
• 5:39
  And
• 5:39
  if
• 5:39
  you
• 5:39
  could
• 5:39
  put
• 5:40
  in
• 5:40
  something
• 5:40
  that's
• 5:40
  fire
• 5:40
  rated,
• 5:41
  that's
• 5:41
  better.
• 5:42
  And
• 5:42
  then
• 5:42
  all
• 5:43
  the
• 5:43
  gutters
• 5:43
  and
• 5:43
  siding,
• 5:44
  I
• 5:44
  like
• 5:44
  the
• 5:44
  fiber,
• 5:45
  cement,
• 5:46
  anything
• 5:46
  fire
• 5:47
  retardant,
• 5:48
  vinyl
• 5:48
  is
• 5:49
  not.
• 5:49
  So
• 5:49
  I
• 5:49
  would
• 5:50
  plan
• 5:51
  to
• 5:51
  remove
• 5:51
  that.
• 5:52
  But
• 5:53
  there's
• 5:53
  a
• 5:53
  lot
• 5:54
  of
• 5:54
  great
• 5:54
  fire
• 5:54
  retardant
• 5:55
  or
• 5:55
  class
• 5:55
  A
• 5:56
  fire
• 5:56
  rated
• 5:56
  type
• 5:56
  sightings
• 5:57
  out
• 5:57
  there
• 5:57
  you
• 5:57
  should
• 5:58
  look
• 5:58
  at.
• 5:59
  And
• 5:59
  then
• 5:59
  decks
• 6:00
  and
• 6:00
  foundations.
• 6:01
  The
• 6:01
  biggest
• 6:01
  problem
• 6:01
  with
• 6:01
  decks
• 6:02
  is
• 6:02
  what's
• 6:02
  happening
• 6:02
  underneath.
• 6:04
  That's
• 6:04
  where
• 6:04
  you
• 6:04
  get
• 6:05
  that.
• 6:05
  If
• 6:05
  you've
• 6:05
  got
• 6:06
  dry
• 6:06
  stuff
• 6:07
  and
• 6:07
  wood
• 6:07
  underneath
• 6:08
  there
• 6:08
  or
• 6:08
  wood
• 6:09
  from
• 6:09
  construction
• 6:09
  debris,
• 6:11
  really
• 6:11
  get
• 6:11
  that
• 6:12
  cleaned
• 6:12
  up.
• 6:12
  That
• 6:12
  can
• 6:13
  really
• 6:13
  make
• 6:13
  a
• 6:13
  difference
• 6:14
  down
• 6:14
  there.
• 6:15
  And
• 6:15
  make
• 6:15
  sure
• 6:15
  that
• 6:15
  you've
• 6:16
  got
• 6:16
  that
• 6:16
  taken
• 6:16
  care
• 6:16
  of.
• 6:17
  And
• 6:17
  then
• 6:17
  come
• 6:17
  up
• 6:17
  with
• 6:17
  an
• 6:18
  emergency
• 6:18
  evacuation
• 6:19
  plan.
• 6:20
  Okay,
• 6:20
  what
• 6:20
  do
• 6:20
  we
• 6:21
  need
• 6:21
  to
• 6:21
  get
• 6:21
  out
• 6:21
  of
• 6:21
  here?
• 6:22
  Maybe
• 6:22
  put
• 6:23
  your
• 6:23
  documents
• 6:23
  and
• 6:24
  stuff
• 6:24
  like
• 6:24
  that
• 6:25
  in
• 6:25
  your
• 6:25
  safe
• 6:26
  in
• 6:26
  a
• 6:26
  bag
• 6:27
  that
• 6:27
  you
• 6:27
  can
• 6:27
  just
• 6:27
  grab
• 6:27
  and
• 6:28
  go
• 6:28
  and
• 6:29
  then
• 6:29
  come
• 6:29
  up
• 6:29
  with
• 6:29
  a
• 6:29
  good
• 6:29
  meetup
• 6:30
  spot.
• 6:30
  This
• 6:30
  is
• 6:30
  just
• 6:31
  normal
• 6:31
  fire
• 6:31
  stuff
• 6:31
  you
• 6:31
  did
• 6:32
  as
• 6:32
  a
• 6:32
  kid,
• 6:32
  right?
• 6:32
  Pretty
• 6:33
  simple.
• 6:34
  And
• 6:34
  then
• 6:34
  make
• 6:34
  sure
• 6:34
  that
• 6:35
  you've
• 6:35
  signed
• 6:35
  up
• 6:35
  for
• 6:35
  all
• 6:36
  your
• 6:36
  local
• 6:37
  alerts.
• 6:37
  I
• 6:37
  have
• 6:38
  them
• 6:38
  here.
• 6:38
  Check
• 6:39
  and
• 6:39
  see
• 6:39
  if
• 6:39
  there's
• 6:39
  an
• 6:40
  alert
• 6:40
  system
• 6:40
  in
• 6:40
  your
• 6:41
  area
• 6:41
  to
• 6:41
  make
• 6:41
  sure
• 6:41
  you're
• 6:42
  that.
• 6:43
  Then
• 6:43
  of
• 6:43
  course
• 6:44
  one
• 6:44
  of
• 6:44
  the
• 6:44
  biggest
• 6:44
  tips.
• 6:46
  Document
• 6:46
  your
• 6:47
  house
• 6:48
  home
• 6:48
  inventory.
• 6:49
  Walk
• 6:49
  around
• 6:49
  your
• 6:50
  house,
• 6:50
  take
• 6:51
  a
• 6:51
  video,
• 6:52
  spend
• 6:52
  a
• 6:52
  half
• 6:52
  hour,
• 6:53
  do
• 6:53
  it,
• 6:53
  save
• 6:53
  it
• 6:53
  in
• 6:53
  the
• 6:54
  cloud,
• 6:54
  make
• 6:54
  sure
• 6:54
  that
• 6:54
  it's
• 6:54
  not
• 6:55
  in
• 6:55
  your
• 6:55
  house.
• 6:56
  Go
• 6:56
  through,
• 6:57
  take
• 6:58
  the
• 6:58
  video,
• 6:59
  Open
• 6:59
  up
• 6:59
  to
• 6:59
  each
• 7:00
  cabinet
• 7:00
  drawer,
• 7:01
  look
• 7:01
  around.
• 7:01
  If
• 7:02
  there's
• 7:02
  something
• 7:03
  significant,
• 7:04
  get
• 7:05
  the
• 7:05
  model
• 7:05
  number,
• 7:05
  the
• 7:06
  part
• 7:06
  number,
• 7:06
  the
• 7:06
  issue
• 7:07
  date,
• 7:07
  whatever
• 7:08
  it
• 7:08
  is,
• 7:08
  whether
• 7:08
  it's
• 7:09
  something
• 7:09
  valuable,
• 7:10
  make
• 7:10
  sure
• 7:10
  you
• 7:10
  get
• 7:10
  all
• 7:10
  that
• 7:11
  stuff
• 7:11
  so
• 7:11
  you
• 7:11
  can
• 7:11
  actually
• 7:12
  keep
• 7:12
  that
• 7:12
  in
• 7:13
  your
• 7:13
  inventory.
• 7:14
  So
• 7:14
  go
• 7:14
  through,
• 7:14
  do
• 7:15
  everything,
• 7:15
  look
• 7:15
  at
• 7:15
  your
• 7:16
  clothes,
• 7:16
  show
• 7:16
  the
• 7:16
  brands,
• 7:17
  all
• 7:17
  that
• 7:17
  stuff,
• 7:18
  show
• 7:18
  what
• 7:19
  you've
• 7:19
  got
• 7:19
  going.
• 7:20
  Because
• 7:20
  if
• 7:21
  you
• 7:21
  do
• 7:21
  have
• 7:21
  a
• 7:21
  loss,
• 7:22
  it
• 7:23
  will
• 7:23
  help
• 7:23
  in
• 7:23
  your
• 7:24
  argument
• 7:24
  with
• 7:25
  the
• 7:25
  insurance
• 7:25
  company.
• 7:26
  And
• 7:26
  then
• 7:26
  of
• 7:27
  course
• 7:27
  make
• 7:27
  sure
• 7:27
  you're
• 7:27
  properly
• 7:28
  insured.
• 7:29
  That's
• 7:29
  one
• 7:29
  of
• 7:29
  the
• 7:30
  biggest
• 7:30
  things
• 7:30
  I
• 7:30
  think
• 7:30
  I
• 7:30
  see
• 7:31
  right
• 7:31
  now.
• 7:31
  Out
• 7:31
  there
• 7:31
  is
• 7:32
  so
• 7:32
  many
• 7:32
  people
• 7:32
  jump
• 7:32
  online,
• 7:34
  click
• 7:34
  boxes
• 7:35
  for
• 7:35
  their
• 7:36
  homeowners
• 7:36
  insurance,
• 7:37
  their
• 7:37
  auto
• 7:38
  insurance,
• 7:38
  they're
• 7:38
  just
• 7:39
  paying
• 7:39
  what
• 7:39
  they're
• 7:39
  told.
• 7:40
  Make
• 7:41
  sure
• 7:41
  you
• 7:41
  get
• 7:41
  on
• 7:41
  the
• 7:41
  phone,
• 7:42
  your
• 7:43
  local
• 7:43
  agent
• 7:44
  in
• 7:44
  discuss
• 7:45
  to
• 7:46
  make
• 7:46
  sure
• 7:46
  everything
• 7:47
  is
• 7:47
  covered
• 7:47
  correctly.
• 7:48
  Do
• 7:48
  you
• 7:48
  have
• 7:49
  enough
• 7:49
  insurance?
• 7:49
  I'm
• 7:49
  gonna
• 7:50
  guess
• 7:50
  you
• 7:50
  probably
• 7:51
  don't,
• 7:52
  so
• 7:52
  make
• 7:53
  sure
• 7:53
  you're
• 7:53
  good.
• 7:54
  All
• 7:54
  right,
• 7:55
  guys,
• 7:55
  those
• 7:55
  are
• 7:55
  ones
• 7:56
  there.
• 7:56
  I
• 7:56
  think
• 7:56
  just
• 7:57
  making
• 7:57
  sure
• 7:57
  that
• 7:57
  you've
• 7:57
  got
• 7:58
  that
• 7:58
  stuff
• 7:58
  dialed
• 7:58
  in
• 7:59
  will
• 7:59
  sure
• 7:59
  help
• 8:01
  with
• 8:01
  that.
• 8:02
  We're
• 8:02
  not
• 8:02
  seeing
• 8:03
  too
• 8:03
  much
• 8:03
  changing
• 8:03
  in
• 8:03
  the
• 8:03
  marketplace
• 8:04
  since
• 8:04
  last
• 8:04
  week.
• 8:05
  Of
• 8:05
  course,
• 8:05
  we're
• 8:05
  seeing
• 8:06
  the
• 8:06
  potential
• 8:06
  here
• 8:07
  for
• 8:07
  oil
• 8:07
  prices
• 8:08
  to
• 8:08
  go
• 8:08
  down.
• 8:08
  They've
• 8:08
  gone
• 8:09
  down
• 8:09
  a
• 8:09
  little
• 8:09
  bit.
• 8:10
  Gasoline
• 8:10
  prices
• 8:10
  have
• 8:10
  gone
• 8:11
  down
• 8:11
  in
• 8:11
  my
• 8:11
  area.
• 8:12
  If
• 8:12
  we
• 8:12
  could
• 8:12
  keep
• 8:13
  that
• 8:13
  down,
• 8:14
  I
• 8:14
  think
• 8:14
  we're
• 8:15
  gonna
• 8:15
  be
• 8:15
  pretty
• 8:15
  good
• 8:15
  for
• 8:16
  remodeling
• 8:17
  and
• 8:17
  stuff
• 8:17
  later
• 8:17
  on
• 8:17
  this
• 8:18
  year.
• 8:18
  I
• 8:18
  think
• 8:18
  right
• 8:18
  now
• 8:18
  there's
• 8:19
  enough
• 8:19
  chaos.
• 8:20
  Plus
• 8:20
  we've
• 8:20
  got
• 8:21
  an
• 8:21
  election
• 8:21
  year
• 8:22
  that
• 8:22
  always
• 8:23
  draws
• 8:23
  in
• 8:23
  chaos.
• 8:24
  We've
• 8:24
  got
• 8:24
  a
• 8:24
  lot
• 8:24
  going
• 8:25
  on.
• 8:25
  Congratulations
• 8:26
  to
• 8:26
  all
• 8:26
  you
• 8:27
  SpaceX
• 8:27

• 8:27
  that
• 8:28
  are
• 8:28
  now
• 8:28
  millionaires
• 8:28
  out
• 8:29
  there.
• 8:29
  Maybe
• 8:30
  you've
• 8:30
  got
• 8:30
  some
• 8:30
  stuff
• 8:30
  you
• 8:30
  can
• 8:31
  spend
• 8:31
  on
• 8:31
  your
• 8:31
  house
• 8:31
  if
• 8:31
  you're
• 8:32
  gonna
• 8:32
  keep
• 8:32
  and
• 8:32
  buy
• 8:33
  and
• 8:33
  sell
• 8:33
  in
• 8:33
  that
• 8:33
  truck,
• 8:34
  that
• 8:34
  stock.
• 8:34
  Well
• 8:35
  done.
• 8:36
  All
• 8:36
  right,
• 8:36

• 8:38

• 8:38
  a
• 8:38

• 8:39
  last
• 8:39
  weekend.
• 8:39
  Went

• 8:40
  did
• 8:40
  some
• 8:40
  camping
• 8:41
  at
• 8:41
  the
• 8:41
  beach.
• 8:41
  It
• 8:41
  was
• 8:41
  85
• 8:42
  degrees,
