Defensible Space Zones
Defensible Space Zones are a smart and organized way for homeowners to protect their properties. Defensible space is normally broken down into 4 zones (0 through 3).
Zone 0
This is the closest to the home and should be designed to be fire-resistant. This can be achieved by reducing fuel, using non-flammable materials, and regularly maintaining and cleaning the area. Zone 0 can provide an effective measure to protect homes from the threat of fire.
Zone 1
Homeowners should keep the area within 30 feet of their home’s foundation lean, clean, and green by removing flammable plants and debris, pruning trees and shrubs, and installing fire-resistant plants and ground covering. This helps reduce the risk of wildfire and and heat near the home to protect homes from potential damage.
Zone 2
Creating a defensible space of 100 feet is essential in reducing the risk of wildfire to homes. This involves removing any flammable plants and debris from the area within 100 feet of a home’s foundation, pruning trees and shrubs, and installing fire-resistant plants. By creating a defensible space of 100 feet, homeowners can better protect their homes from potential damage. While 100 feet may seem too far away to effect a home, the heat and intensity from this fire will impact a near by structure.
Zone 3
This zone focuses on reducing the amount of fuel beyond 100 feet of a home that can act as fuel for an advancing wildfire by removing tall grasses, brush, and other combustible vegetation this is also called the ingress and egress zone. It can help clear the path of evacuation and provide safe roads for fire engines. Overall, Defensible Space Services can help protect homes from the risk of wildfire by creating safe and secure environments, reducing the risk of fires spreading, and maintaining the area free of combustible materials. Homeowners should take proactive steps to protect their homes by implementing these services and regularly maintaining their property.
