If you rent in in California and especially if you rent in a high fire zone, it is important to be aware of safety measures you should have in place, such as fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and evacuation plans. It is also important to be prepared for a potential emergency situation, including having an emergency kit with essential supplies, as well as staying up-to-date on local warnings and evacuation routes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you live in an area at a high risk of such incidents, it’s also essential to get renters insurance<\/a> in order to safeguard your belongings and finances.
