This involves the placement of appropriate plants around your property, particularly the home ignition zone, in a way that enhances the defensible space around your home while also enhancing its beauty and value. It also involves the use of other landscaping elements, such as rocks and concrete, to create effective fire lines that will slow or prevent a fire from reaching your home in the event that a wildfire strikes nearby. When done properly, fire resistant/fire wise landscaping not only protects your home, but the nature surrounding it, for it can help create a line of defense that will permit firefighters to focus often limited resources on stopping the fire rather than concentrating on attempting to save structures in the fire's path. While all plants can burn, none need to pose a significant risk of fire hazard to your home. Through careful selection, placement and maintenance of appropriate plants, Fire Resistant/Fire wise landscaping can keep flammability of your property to a minimum.
