CALFIRE: Research suggests that creating a noncombustible buffer of five feet around your home can significantly improve the likelihood that it survives a wildfire. Creating a combustible-free Zone 0 that extends a minimum of five feet from each structure or, if applicable, an attached deck reduces the chance of wind-blown embers or radiant heat spreading the fire to your home. Remove bark and replace wood fencing and other potential fuel for sparks with noncombustible alternatives.

Fire can travel like a leapfrog, engulfing trees, shrubs, and flammable objects, inching closer to your home. With #DefensibleSpace, strategically spacing vegetation, you minimize the risk of fire spreading to the next fuel source. Find out more at ReadyForWildfire.org.
