| In all, the fireguard stretches seven kilometres, and is approximately 400 meters wide. |
| Over the past few years I cut a fireguard 200 ft. wide around the place but that is little comfort in a strong wind. |
| In the living room, a chainmail curtain hung from a metal rod is a fireguard for the aluminium clad fireplace. |
| On Friday morning the Springer Creek fire jumped a fireguard in its northwest corner. |
