Wildfire Protection: Reports of mailers offering questionable fire protection delivered to Bel-Air residences

Living in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone as Bel-Air, homeowners want to do all they can to protect their homes from fire devastation.  Last year a mailer was delivered to Bel-Air residents from a company called Sun FireDefense. Questions were raised on the effectiveness of this spray gel.  Although the Bel-Air Association does not endorse products, it does want to alert homeowners of recent legal action news against this company.
