Defendable Space

Defend your home against wildfires by creating a safe perimeter. 

In each zone, the intensity of vegetation management increases as you get closer to your home. The goal is to start at your house and work outward, reaching up to 100 feet or your property line.

• Zone 0: Zone 0 extends 0- 5 feet from your home, focusing on intense fuel reduction to protect against ember attacks.

• Zones 1 & 2: These zones cover up to 100 feet around your home. They’re required by law and involve varying levels of vegetation management.

Defensible space is created by removing flammable vegetation and material around a home, providing a safe space for firefighters to defend a home and reducing direct flame and heat on a home during a fire. 

Selling Your Home? Sellers of real property located in a high or very high fire severity zone must provide the buyer with documentation stating the property is in compliance with defensible space requirements.
