Additional Information: Clearing dead grass and brush 100 feet from homes is a critical step in preventing and inhibiting the spread of wildfires and the risk of property damage. As fire danger increases, so does the likelihood that the unsafe use of power equipment can start fires. CAL FIRE reminds homeowners of the importance of reducing overgrown vegetation and clearing recommended Defensible Space. Please visit www.readyforwildfire.org
