Fire & Defensible Space
Unfortunately, fire inspections this season for home owners are upon us early. It is estimated that over 100,000 homes in the Sacramento area are not yet compliant with definsible space guidelines. Homeowners will be fined and may lose insurance if not in compliance.
*CALFIRE GUIDELINES*
Keys to creating defensible space are:
Zone One:
extends up to 30 feet (or your property line whichever is closer) from every structure on your property
Remove all dead and dying vegetation
Remove leaf litter from your roof and rain gutters
Relocate woodpiles well away from your home
Trim trees so that they are a minimum of ten feet from your chimney and roof line
Remove “ladder fuels” (low-level vegetation that could allow fire to spread from the ground to shrubs and bushes to the tree canopies).
Zone Two:
extends from 30 feet to 100 feet (or to your property line whichever is closer)
The key is to keep plant material separated from each other both horizontally and vertically, this prevents the vegetation from acting like a ladder and allowing the fire to move from the ground to thetree canopies
Cut annual grasses down to a maximum of four inches in heigh
California Tree Experts will ensure your property is within these guidelines.
