Defensible Space
Protect your home from wildfire with West Sky's defensible space services. You've worked hard to create and maintain a homestead... now make it impenetrable.
Wildfire Risk Reduction
Eliminating flammable material near structures exponentially decreases the severity of wildfire impacts. Defensible space interrupts the continuity in forest structure and decreases fire intensity around your structures. Defensible space can be achieved while maintaining or increasing aesthetic values. Although defensible space is the most important factor of structure survivability, proper forest management techniques will exponential enhance fire prevention plans.
Firefighting Operations
Defensible space allows for firefighters to enter your property and effectively protect your structures from wildfire. In my experience as a firefighter, homes insufficient defensible space were written off as casualties before the fire even reached the homes. Firefighters will always prioritize properly managed forest areas and structures with defensible space as they are less dangerous and the return on investment of resources are much higher as these structures are more likely to survive.
Reccomendations
Although defensible space and proper forest management significantly decrease the chance of structure casualty, you can stop fires before they reach your property by recommending West Sky Land Management to your neighbors. The more folks in your community with West Sky's applied services, the greater reduction of catastrophic wildfire. Recommend your neighbors to receive a cash incentive on your defensible space and/or forest management project!
