CREATING DEFENSIBLE SPACE: Part 6

NOTE: Recommendations in this section are made by local firefighters experienced in protecting homes from wildfire. They are not requirements, nor do they take precedence over local ordinances.

STEP SIX: IS THE VEGETATION WITHIN THE DEFENSIBLE SPACE MAINTAINED ON A REGULAR BASIS?

Keeping your defensible space effective is a continual process. At least annually, review these defensible space steps and take action accordingly. An effective defensible space can be quickly diminished through neglect.
