Fire threat reduced by defensible space
Suzi Macy
Fire Management
Question: What is defensible
space?
; Answer: Defensible space is
a buffer zone, a minimum 30
foot non-combustible area
around your home that reduces
the intensity and risk of a wild
fire from starting or spreading
to your home.
Defensible space depends on
clearing flammable material
away from your home. Although
a 30-foot distance is standard,
additional clearance as great as
100 feet may be necessary as
the slope of your lot increases.

Defensible space not only
helps protect your home in the
critical minutes it takes a fire to
pass, it also gives firefighters an
area to work in. During a large
scale fire, when many homes are
at risk, firefighters must focus
on homes they can safely de
fend. Here are some hints you as
a homeowner should follow to .
make your home more fire-safe:
Reduce flammable vegeta
tion, trees and brush around
your home.
Remove or prune trees.
Cut grass and weeds regularly.
