Fire mitigation is a way to manage vegetation so that hopefully fire will not be as intense. Creating defensible zones where ground fuels, shrubs and trees are not connected is important.

Creating Defensible Space

• Remove smaller trees and shrubs from beneath decks and eves. Prune larger trees back, limbing them up 10 feet from the ground.
• Create a clear pathway 8-10 feet wide around your house for easy access.
• Keep grasses mowed and fine fuels such as pine needles and leaves raked up.
• Thin and separate groups of scrub oak, taking advantage of natural separations.
• Remove suppressed understory trees and shrubs to eliminate the laddering effect into upper canopies

Mountain High can help in evaluating your landscape and creating these defensible zones around your home.
