Wildfire Knowledge

Home Hardening Basics

Vegetation management is one layer

Defensible space and the building work together.

Fuel reduction can improve conditions around a structure, but embers may still reach the building. Home hardening focuses on the places where embers and heat can enter or ignite the structure.

TerraFuego provides vegetation management, not building inspection or construction services. This information helps customers understand why both sides of wildfire preparation matter.

Common areas to evaluate

  • Roof and gutter debris
  • Vents and openings
  • Decks, fences and attachments
  • Windows, eaves and siding
  • Combustible material stored near structures

A layered approach

1

Maintain the structure

Address vulnerable openings, debris and combustible attachments.

2

Manage the immediate zone

Reduce receptive fuels and combustible vegetation nearest the building.

3

Reduce surrounding fuel

Manage grass, brush, ladder fuels and continuity farther from the structure.

4

Maintain over time

Repeat inspections and vegetation work as conditions change.
