Defensible space and home hardening are essential to improve your home's chance of surviving a wildfire. Defensible space is the buffer you create between your structure(s) and the surrounding area. This space acts as a barrier to slow or stop the spread of wildfire and helps protect your home from catching fire. Proper defensible space also provides safety for firefighters defending your home.
