Comment on this resource
Defensible space is an area around a structure where fuels and vegetation are treated, cleared or reduced to slow the spread of wildfire towards the structure. This fact sheet from the Colorado State University Cooperative Extension provides information for homeowners who wish to create such a space as a precautionary measure to protect their homes from wildfires.
