How can I reduce the risk of wildfire on my property?

  • Remove dead trees, especially around your home.
  • Create 100 feet of “defensible space,” the natural and landscaped area around a structure that has been maintained and designed to reduce fire danger.
  • Maintain trees by thinning overgrown trees and watering as necessary.
  • Plant a diversity of tree species, including drought tolerant species of trees native to the area.
