Living in the WUI- Wildland Urban Interface is wonderful and beautiful but it does come with some degree of preparation for the chance of fire. Utilizing the Firewise Principals, you can reduce the chances of fire contacting your home should one occur in your area. We reduce debris, cut low limbs, use rock instead of bark near the home and create an area of distance between your home and surrounding trees.
Post-fire planting of native trees and flora will improve the health of the burnt area, reduce soil erosion and reestablish an ecosystem in that area.
