Fire Season is Here…Are you ready Soda Canyon?

Maintaining adequate defensible space and using fire-resistant landscaping are two steps you can take right now to make your home safer. Defensible space is the buffer you can create by removing dead trees, shrubs, plants, grass, and weeds around your property which will help keep fire away from your home. Surrounding your home with plants that are unlikely to catch fire will contribute to making your defensible space more effective.

The following online resources can provide detailed information about defensible space and fire-resistant landscaping.
