Fuels Reduction and Defensible Space

 Fuels reduction is the process of decreasing the amount of flammable materials, such as vegetation and deadwood, in a forest or wildland area. We can help you reduce the risk and severity of wildfires by limiting the available fuel for them to burn. We want to help you protect your communities, wildlife habitats, and natural resources from destructive blazes. Additionally, fuels reduction can promote ecosystem health by promoting biodiversity and restoring natural fire regimes as well as improve the aesthetic appeal of a space!

Cutting down trees to benefit the forest? How does that work?

It may seem counter-intuitive to think that cutting down trees, and removing vegetation from the forest would benefit it, there is no doubt that managing the amount of trees in a given space greatly decreases the intensity of fires and allows for first responders to have more control over the fire. 

Fuels reduction decreases the intensity and spread of fires, making them easier to control and extinguish. This creates defensible spaces around communities and structures, reducing the risk of property damage and loss of life during wildfires. Additionally, fuels reduction can help to break up the continuity of vegetation, which can slow down the advance of wildfires and provide firefighters with safer access points for suppression efforts. Fuels protection can protect you, your property and structures, as well as the forest. 

A Straightforward Explanation

After the Caldor Fire the Pacific Southwest Region of the US Forest Service created an excellent series of videos that provide a simple and concise explanation of why wildfires are becoming an increasingly serious problem and what can be done to address this threat.  Although these videos discuss landscape scale mitigation efforts the same principles apply to smaller projects.
