Your actions today can help shape a fire-ready future. ➡ It begins with Zone 0, or the first five feet from your home. Removing anything flammable, like plants, mulch, and firewood, is critical to reducing the chance of embers igniting your home. ➡ Move outward into Zone 1 (5–30 feet), where the focus shifts to maintaining healthy, well-spaced vegetation, trimming trees, and removing dead plants and debris. ➡ Extend your efforts into Zone 2 (30–100 feet or the property line), where thinning vegetation and managing larger landscaping features help slow the spread of fire. You have the power to make your home, and your community, safer. Don't wait for a fire to start before you begin preparing. #OSFM #SANFIRE #WildfirePreparednessWeek

During a wildfire, embers can travel and accumulate at the base of a home, ultimately igniting trees, shrubs, and combustible objects leading to your home. When you create a buffer by removing combustible materials from within 5 feet from your home, you reduce the chances of fire spreading to its next fuel source. #WildfirePreparednessWeek #SANFIRE #OSFM
