Wildfire Defensible Space


Total Votes: 1 / Interest: 702

Defensible space clearance is the safe area around your home that has been cleared or thinned in order to reduce the effects of wildfire.  Your home is more likely to survive a devastating wildfire if proper defensible space is cleared around your structures. California law requires that homeowners in SRA clear out flammable materials such as brush or vegetation around their buildings to 100 feet (or the property line) to create a defensible space buffer. This helps halt the progress of an approaching wildfire, keeps firefighters safe while they defend your home, and helps to minimize the spread of fire to neighboring buildings.
