Defensible space is the area around a home that has been designed to protect it from ignition and gives firefighters the space needed to defend your home. 90% of homes that burn during a wildfire are ignited by embers that start spot fires that then spread to the house. By eliminating vegetation and combustibles within the first 5 ft of the home and maintaining space around plants throughout your yard, you can reduce your risk.
