Defensible Space for Homes in Dry Southern Utah

As we approach a high fire season in Southern Utah caused from dry conditions and lightning, we remember stories of homes destroyed from not having defensible space. Defensible space is that area within thirty feet of your home. This area should only consist of plants that are low and not easy to catch on fire. After that thirty feet, plants should be spaced if possible to prevent possible spreading. By having an adequate defensible space area surrounding your home, the chances are lower for a fire to spread from a brush fire in a nearby easement to your home. If you were unaware of this defensible space and are now the victim of a tragic home fire, call someone you can trust to help with the aftermath so you can piece your life together.
