Creating Defensible Space

Defensible space is the natural and man-made area around a home or structure that is designed and maintained to reduce the risks of fire.  In the wildland-urban interface (WUI) defensible space reduces the risk of a wildfire damaging a home or other structures, and it also reduces the risk of a fire in a home or structure triggering a forest fire.
Defensible space is especially important for home and business owners living in the WUI because it reduces the risk of fires and provides safe access for firefighters to a home or business in the event of a fire.  In the event of a catastrophic fire, firefighters are often forced to choose which structures to protect.  A home or structure surrounded by defensible space provides a relatively safe area for firefighters to work and provides a better chance for success.
