Defensible Space and Wildfire Preparedness

Defensible Space

Defensible space plays a vital role in protecting your home from wildfires. It refers to the area you maintain between your house and nearby vegetation or wildland. By creating this buffer, you help reduce the intensity and spread of a fire, shielding your home from embers, radiant heat, and direct flames. It also provides firefighters with a safer, more effective space to work when defending your property.
