Home Ignition Zone Science

Strategic Defensible Space Planning

Zone 0-5 Feet

Non-Combustible Foundation

Eliminate all combustible materials directly adjacent to your home. This critical zone requires concrete, gravel, or rock landscaping to prevent ember ignition.

Zone 5-30 Feet

Defensible Space Clearing

Reduce fuel load by removing dead vegetation, thinning trees, and maintaining irrigated lawns. Create horizontal and vertical separation between plants to slow fire spread.

Zone 30-100 Feet

Fuel Reduction & Thinning

Focus on reducing the intensity of a wildfire approaching your property. This involves removing smaller trees, pruning lower branches, and eliminating continuous fuel paths.
