Wildfire season in Southern Oregon seems to arrive faster every year, often catching homeowners off guard. With fires becoming more frequent in the Rogue Valley and surrounding areas, it’s critical to take proactive steps to protect your home and property before the danger reaches your doorstep.
One of the most effective ways to reduce wildfire risk is through regular tree trimming and landscape maintenance. Keeping your property clear of overgrown vegetation can make a significant difference in slowing the spread of fire.
Why Creating Defensible Space Matters
If you live outside city limits or on rural land, preparing your property for fire season should be a yearly priority — ideally in the spring before the dry months arrive.
A defensible space is the area around your home or outbuildings that has been cleared of excess brush, low-hanging branches, and dry vegetation. This space serves as a critical barrier between your home and the surrounding wildland. It helps slow or stop the advance of a wildfire, protects your structures from heat and direct flames, and gives firefighters a safer area to work if they need to defend your home.
Without a defensible space, fires can quickly jump from trees and shrubs to your home, dramatically increasing the risk of loss.
