When wildfires threaten communities and homes, you might hear a lot about defensible space and the layer of protection it can provide. Defensible space is the first line of defense for your home against wildfire. Acting as a buffer between your structure and the surrounding area, having adequate defensible space can slow or halt the progress of fire when wildfire strikes. If you have good defensible space, it means you’ve managed the vegetation and any combustible materials within a 100-foot per

After a wildfire moves out of an area, CAL FIRE Damage Inspection Teams move in to assess the damage. These teams will evaluate every property and structure within a fire’s perimeter for damage and destruction. This information is then collected and quality-controlled before it is shared with the county for public dissemination. This is important because it allows the affected communities to begin the recovery process. The damage assessment data is critical for the CAL FIRE – Office of the State

🏈 Wildfire plays offense. Your home needs defense. Firewood stacked against the house, leaves in the gutters, and flammable fences create gaps in your defense. Defensible space closes those gaps by separating fuels and stopping embers before they reach your home. #SuperBowl #GameDay #Championship #SundayFootball #ReadyForWildfire | CAL FIRE

Creating defensible space is essential to improve your home’s chance of surviving a wildfire. It’s the buffer created between a building and the vegetation on the property, including grass, trees, shrubs, or any wildland area that surround it. This space is needed to slow or stop the spread of wildfire and it protects your home from catching fire, either from direct flame contact or radiant heat. Defensible space is also important for the protection of the firefighters defending your home. South

Your home’s first line of defense against wildfires is Defensible Space. This applies to small yards too. This video breaks down three crucial zones to keep your property safe: • Zone 0 (Ember Resistant Zone): The 0-5 feet around your home, where fire and embers can easily spread. • Zone 1 (Lean and Green Zone): 5-30 feet of clear, fire-resistant space. • Zone 2 (Reduced Fuel Zone): 30-100 feet of carefully spaced vegetation.
