Fire mitigation is the process of reducing the risk and potential impact of wildfires by strategically removing flammable vegetation, thinning trees, clearing underbrush, and creating defensible space around structures and property lines. This service is especially important in rural or wooded areas where fire hazards are high. The benefits of fire mitigation include increased property safety, reduced risk of wildfire damage, improved emergency access, and compliance with local fire regulations. By proactively managing your land, fire mitigation not only protects your home and assets but also supports healthier forests and long-term land sustainability.
It often involves clearing underbrush, thinning trees, removing dead vegetation, and maintaining space between structures and surrounding fuels.
Defensible space is a buffer zone around buildings where vegetation has been modified or removed to reduce fire danger.
