A simple decision to be proactive in the protection of your family, home and other assets can help increase your chances of being one of the survivors of a wildfire

‍

We work with you to create defensible space. A safe space around your home that reduces the danger of wildfire while maintaining the beauty.

‍

Taking a firefighters perspective, we specialize in creating defensible space from the eyes of first responders. We take a detailed look at your property and evaluate how to give it the best chance of survival during a wildfire.

Fire is a natural part of the ecosystem, but it can become dangerous if it's not controlled or prepared for. In order to prevent wildfires from causing damage, we create defensible fire zones around your home. A defensible fire zone is a buffer that help keep the fire further from your house until firefighters arrive on scene.

What is a defensible fire zone?

A defensible fire zone is a designated area of land that is clear of all flammable materials and maintained in that condition. The zone should be kept clear of debris, branches, and other combustible materials. It should also be mowed and watered to ensure it's in good shape whenever a wildfire threatens the area.

If you live in an area with a high risk of wildfires, you should make sure your property is surrounded by at least 100 feet of defensible space. This means you should keep trees, brush, ladder fuels and dead grass away from your home—or remove them altogether.

Defensible fire zones are recommended for wildfire preparedness.

Defensible fire zones are meant to help protect homes from wildfires, and they can be created by homeowners and communities. They can help reduce the risk of wildfires, as well as prevent the spread of wildfires in and around neighborhoods.
