Ayudar a los propietarios a proteger sus viviendas
Hey there, Butte County residents! I’m Max DSI, your friendly neighborhood Butte County Fire Defensible Space Inspector. I’m here to talk to you about something truly important: how to protect your home and family from wildfires. The key lies in creating defensible space, a buffer area created between a building on your property and the grass, trees, shrubs, or any wildland area surrounding it.

Zona Cero
En este vídeo, Max muestra cómo puedes ser un héroe despejando la Zona Cero. La Zona Cero es otro nombre para los primeros cinco pies alrededor de su casa o estructura anexa a ella. Es importante mantener esta zona libre de cualquier cosa inflamable para evitar que el fuego llegue a tu casa.

Zona Uno
Zone One extends from the outer edge of Zone Zero out 30 feet. In this Zone, keep grass short, remove dead bushes and shrubs, and keep your branches trimmed. Also be sure to space out your plantings so fire doesn’t have a direct line to your home. Learn more about Zone One here.
