Fuel Reduction

Managing horizontal and vertical continuity

The objective

Reduce hazardous fuel without assuming every plant must disappear.

Effective fuel reduction modifies the amount, arrangement and condition of vegetation. The right treatment depends on distance from structures, slope, species, access, erosion concerns and the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.

Side-by-side comparison showing fire moving through continuous grass, shrubs and tree branches toward a home, while spacing and a raised tree canopy interrupt the fire path in a managed landscape
Continuous fuel gives fire a connected path through vegetation. Managed fuel retains selected plants while adding spacing, removing lower growth and interrupting that path.

Common methods

  • Mowing and line trimming annual vegetation
  • Selective brush thinning and removal
  • Creating horizontal spacing between shrubs and trees
  • Removing dead material and ladder fuels
  • Maintaining access routes and structure perimeters
