Amir lives in an area that is likely to have wildfires. Which step should he take to reduce his risk of home damage in a wildfire?

Keeping the roof and gutters clean removes dry leaves and other debris that can catch fire from windblown embers. This reduces the chance that a wildfire will ignite the house. Soaking the house with water is not a reliable way to protect it, and boarding up windows is not the key preventive step here.
