To reduce risks to your home and property, adhere to these best
practices:
To reduce wildfire risks:
- Mow your lawn short within 5 ft (1.5 m) of buildings.
- Minimize brush and trees near your home, using wildfire-resistant plants
spaced apart. - Keep combustible materials at least 30 ft (10 m) away from structures.
- Regularly clear debris from eavestroughs and roofs to prevent sparks.
- Trim tree branches to 6 ft (2 m) off the ground to lower ignition risk.
- Maintain all buildings on your property similarly to your home.
- Develop and practice a home escape and wildfire evacuation plan.
