Understanding Defensible Space
Defensible space is a critical component in protecting your home from wildfires. California law mandates maintaining a defensible space of up to 100 feet around structures in wildfire-prone areas. This space slows the spread of fire and provides a safe area for firefighters to operate.
Key zones include:
Zone 0 (0–5 feet): Keep this area free of combustible materials to prevent ember ignition.
Zone 1 (5–30 feet): Remove dead vegetation and maintain spacing between plants.
Zone 2 (30–100 feet): Reduce fuel by thinning vegetation and creating horizontal and vertical spacing.
