Santana Winds Here, Do you have your Barricade Fire Blocking Gel?

Developed by a Florida Firefighter who noticed at a trash fire that a used wet baby disposable diaper wasn't burning. This got him thinking and looking into the substance which led to the development of Barricade Gel for your home or property. From his website, we find that the substance "Working just like the super absorbent polymers in the diaper, Barricade absorbs many times its weight of water and forms "wet, sticky sponges." These water-filled bubblets adhere to surfaces in many molecular layers - each of which must be evaporated before the underlying layer is affected. It easily washes away after the threat has gone.
So with the Fire Season here and the Santana Winds blowing, are you prepared???
Another thing we use here at the ranch is buckets and the old fashioned mops placed in strategic places we are ready to put out any caught embers under eaves or porches as they blow through.
Always Always Follow the Direction of your Firefighters and Evacuate if told to do so! Be safe! From the office of Jill McGovern Real Estate, Inc.
