How do I create defensible space around my home?
Clear flammable vegetation within 30 feet of your home, thin trees within 100 feet, and maintain a gravel or hardscape zone within 5 feet of the foundation.

Metal and tile roofs are Class A fire-rated and most resistant to embers. Wood shake roofs are the most vulnerable and should be replaced in fire-prone areas.
