Keep a fire extinguisher and blanket handy, make an evacuation plan, and let your local fire service know you have a thatched roof. Practise now and panic less later. π More advice: https://t.co/ePdLUyfVNv

βοΈ Give your thatched roof an extra layer of protection this season. Fire-retardant sprays, under-thatch barriers, and ridge fire guards all help stop flames before they spread. π More advice: https://t.co/ePdLUyfVNv
