Defensible Space & Home Hardening
Creating a Wildfire Buffer Zone
Defensible space is a protective zone between your home and surrounding vegetation that helps slow or stop the spread of wildfires. This space not only minimizes wildfire risks by removing flammable vegetation and materials that could fuel a fire but also provides firefighters with a safe area to protect their property. It’s crucial in giving your home a better chance of surviving a wildfire and ensuring the safety of those working to defend it.
Home Hardening by Zones
Zone 1 (0-30 feet)
- Clear vegetation immediately around your home to create a defensible space.
- Use fire-resistant materials for your roofing and siding to minimize fire risk.
Zone 2 (30-100 feet)
- Expand your defensible space by clearing vegetation within 100 feet of your home.
- Enhance protection by applying Phos-Chek for added fire retardant coverage.
Zone 3 (100+ feet)
- Ensure tree branches are kept 10 feet away from your chimney and other trees to prevent fire from spreading.
