In January 2005 California
revised the state law that
requires homeowners to create a firebreak, known as
"Defensible Space" around their homes. The law now
requires property owners to extend Defensible Space
clearance around homes and structures from 30 feet to
100 feet.
Proper clearance to 100 feet dramatically increases
the chance of your house surviving a wildfire. This
defensible space also provides for firefighter safety
when protecting homes during a wildland fire. |
