Defensible Space Inspections

Defensible space refers to the management of vegetation around structures to reduce the possibility that a wildfire will ignite the structure. The primary reason structures ignite is from embers and sustained radiant and convective heat. We perform defensible space inspections year-round by request with scheduled inspections in the spring through the summer enforcing State and County defensible space laws. The State Law is Public Resources Code 4291 and applies to improved parcels. The County Ordinance is Chapter 13A and applies to improved and unimproved parcels. 

Refer to CAL FIRE’s Defensible Space website for more information about defensible space. For a direct link to Fire-Smart Landscaping visit CAL FIRE's Fire-Smart Landscaping website.
