In a unified proclamation, governors from Oregon, Idaho, Nevada and California have joined to encourage homeown- ers to begin thinking about the approaching fire season. This year’s Wildfire Awareness Week theme asks: “Have you done enough to protect your home from wildfire?” “The roof is the most critical part of the house when it comes to wildfire protection,” said N EW ODV Walker. “Embers can collect and ignite on the roof or in gut- ters and enter unscreened open- ings around the house. “Although non-combustible roofing material is preferred, regardless of the construction, keep roofs, gutters and eaves clear of all leaves, pine needles and other flammable debris.” The Oregon Office of State Fire Marshal, in collaboration with Keep Oregon Green, the Oregon Department of Forestry, Oregon forest protec- tive associations and federal wildland agencies are taking this opportunity to promote defensible space around homes before fire strikes this summer. To reduce the risk, fire offi- cials suggest removing dead vegetation a minimum of 30 feet around your house. In most cases, trees and healthy plants do not need to be removed. However, trees should be pruned and grass kept short and green to keep fire on the ground and more manageable by fire crews. If you’re thinking of land- scaping, ask your local nursery or Oregon State University Extension agent about fire resistant plants. Homeowners should also keep access in mind for large fire trucks. Long driveways should be at least 12 feet wide, have 10 feet of vegetation clearance from the centerline out, and about 14 feet over- head. Large vehicle turnaround areas are critical for your safe- ty as well as firefighter safety. It is the homeowners’ responsibility to protect their homes by building defensible space.
