Defensible space is the buffer between your home and the surrounding vegetation, such as grass, trees, shrubs, and other wildland fuels. Maintaining this space helps slow the spread of wildfire and reduces the risk of flames or wind-driven embers igniting your home. Studies show that homes with well-maintained defensible space are far more likely to survive a wildfire—even if firefighters cannot reach the property in time.
