Whether you're using the 2 zone concept

Or 3 zone concept

 your defensible space starts at your home and works out as far as your property goes.  

Defensible space is known as well as” firescaping”. When we are thinking defensible space, there are 2 general types of landscaping we come across: Native or Ornamental.

A Native landscape would be natural plant communities relatively untouched from the house to the forest. No irrigation in any zones. A much hotter and drier environment. 

An Ornamental landscape would be an improved landscaped environment. Maintenanced and irrigated plant communities would extend from 30 to 50 feet from the house, zone 1. Higher humidity’s with some fire resistive species.

These landscapes may contain hardscapes that further influence the spread of wildfire.

Both these landscapes offer numerous control options. These options start from different places but are of the same concept… ”Defensible Space”

 Defensible Space is an area either natural or man made where materials capable of allowing fire to spread unchecked has been treated, cleared or modified to slow the rate and intensity of an advancing wildfire and to create an area for fire suppression operations to occur.

 Defensible Space, (sometimes called 'firescaping'), in the context of fire control, is the natural and landscaped area around a structure that has been maintained and designed to reduce fire danger, sometimes called 'Firescaping'. "Defensible space" is also used in the context of wildfires

This defensible space reduces the risk that fire will spread from the surroundings to the structure and provides firefighters access and a safer area to defend it from.

Firefighters sometimes do not attempt to protect structures without adequate defensible space, as it is less safe and less likely to succeed. especially in the wildland urban interface (WUI).

 Defensible space is essential to improve your home’s chance of surviving a wildfire. It’s the buffer you create between a building on your property and the grass, trees, shrubs (Ornamental), or any Wildland (Native) area that surround it.

This space is needed to slow or stop the spread of wildfire and it protects your home from catching fire – either from direct flame contact or radiant heat. Defensible space is also important for the protection of the firefighters defending your home.
