Defensible space is the buffer zone between your property and surrounding vegetation that slows the spread of wildfire. California guidelines recommend clearing flammable material within 30 to 100 feet of structures, depending on your location and local regulations. Zone 1 (0 to 30 feet) requires keeping the area clear of dead vegetation and pruning low branches to 6 to 10 feet above grade. Zone 2 (30 to 100 feet) requires thinning and spacing vegetation to interrupt fire’s horizontal and vertical path. Slope increases requirements – steeper terrain needs additional clearance.
New this cycle: California is phasing in an ember-resistant zone – Zone 0, the first 5 feet from the structure – for high-hazard areas, which means no combustible mulch, woodpiles, or vegetation against the walls. Starting the habit now puts you ahead of enforcement.
