Fire, Defensible Space, and You...
Guidance about defensible space, "the area around a structure where combustible vegetation that can spread fire has been cleared, reduced or replaced. This space acts as a barrier between a structure and an advancing fire." Although some tips here refer specifically to ordinances in San Diego County, California, most of the ideas -- such as pruning and plant removal instructions -- will be useful for anyone living in a fireprone area. From San Diego County.
