Defensible Space is a concept used in urban planning and fire management that focuses on creating a buffer zone around buildings to reduce the risk of wildfires. This area is designed to limit the amount of flammable vegetation and materials, making it harder for fires to reach structures. By maintaining a defensible space, homeowners can protect their properties and improve safety during wildfire events. The idea of Defensible Space is often associated with the Wildland-Urban Interface, where homes are built near forested areas. Effective defensible space typically includes three zones: the immediate area around the home, a transition zone, and an outer zone. Each zone has specific guidelines for vegetation management and landscaping to enhance fire safety.
