Your home’s first line of defense against wildfires is Defensible Space. This applies to small yards too. This video breaks down three crucial zones to keep your property safe: • Zone 0 (Ember Resistant Zone): The 0-5 feet around your home, where fire and embers can easily spread. • Zone 1 (Lean and Green Zone): 5-30 feet of clear, fire-resistant space. • Zone 2 (Reduced Fuel Zone): 30-100 feet of carefully spaced vegetation.

CAL FIRE usually constructs fire lines in one of two ways: with fire crews using hand tools, or by #bulldozer. Bulldozers construct lines by removing flammable material down to bare soil. This makes them another valuable resource for California’s emergency response capabilities. | CAL FIRE

Have you ever wondered about all the capabilities of our bulldozers? In addition to their wildfire response role, CAL FIRE dozers are used throughout the year for restoration work, flood prevention, and other earthwork projects. They repair fire damage, restore ecosystems through controlled burns and habitat restoration, and reduce fuel loads by clearing vegetation and creating firebreaks, also known as fuel breaks. These powerful dozers recently helped improve a 66-mile fuel break near Camp Pen

As wildfires have worsened over the last several years, the need to reduce fire severity and contain erratic wildfire behavior has become even more necessary. One of the fuels management/reduction tools utilized by CAL FIRE to help reduce the spread of destructive wildfires are fuel breaks. If a wildfire strikes, these fuel breaks are vital in slowing wildfire spread and helping firefighters suppression efforts. Learn more at fire.ca.gov | CAL FIRE

The homeowner created a 5-foot Zone 0 buffer using smart landscaping and noncombustible materials in a neighborhood — and still has a yard with grass, trees, and flowers spaced out with nothing flammable right against the home. “Zone 0 isn’t about going bare,” says State Fire Marshal Daniel Berlant. “It’s about smart spacing and fire-resistant choices.” Homes with a Zone 0 are nearly twice as likely to survive a wildfire, according to recent scientific

Dropping retardant is a critical tactic in slowing a fire’s spread and protecting nearby communities. Aerial resources play a key role in our wildfire response—helping us contain 95% of fires to 10 acres or less. Recent deployments are an important reminder: many of the fires we respond to are preventable. Help us protect California. Stay aware, follow fire-safe practices, and remember, one less spark means one less wildfire. #CALFIRE #WildfirePrevention #AirtankerOperations #OneLessSpark | CAL
