  • A Defensible zone is an area around your house designed to stop an approaching fire from reaching it. To create a defensible zone we lay gravel barriers, remove flammable materials and plants, and remove and dispose of trees and low tree limbs.

  • Home hardening is stopping the actual points at which fire spreads to your home- it can include gutter guards, vent covers, metal siding, a change of roofing material, even a coat of a fire resistant, or intumescent, paint.
