How to prepare your property with a practical 100-foot fire safety regimen.
After weeks of unusually warm spring weather, it makes sense to get ahead of fire season now – before conditions turn drier and more dangerous. One of the smartest things a property owner can do is create defensible space around the home. That means reducing heavy fuels, managing brush, improving tree spacing, and keeping vegetation from carrying fire to structures.
A practical 100-foot fire safety regimen
- First 30 feet: clear trees, brush, and other combustible vegetation back from the house.
- Next 70 feet: raise tree canopies to about 8 feet where appropriate, remove understory brush, and reduce ladder fuels.
- Ongoing work: mowing, mastication, hand crews, cleanup, and general fuel reduction to help keep the property fire-ready.
