Defensible Space

Defensible space is the buffer between your home and the surrounding vegetation that helps slow or stop the spread of wildfire. By reducing combustible materials around structures, homeowners can significantly improve firefighter access, increase the likelihood that a home will survive a wildfire, and reduce the risk of fire spreading to neighboring properties.

Creating defensible space isn't a one-time project—it's an ongoing effort that should be maintained throughout the year.
