Wildfire Preparation Services by Kokopelli Smart Defense

Ensuring the Safety of Your Home

At Kokopelli Smart Defense, we're committed to equipping your home with the best possible defenses against the ravages of wildfires. Our expertly trained personnel specialize in preparing your property by focusing on the three critical Defensible Space Zones, ensuring your home has the optimal chance of withstanding a wildfire.

Understanding Defensible Space Zones

Creating defensible space around your home is essential in wildfire risk management. These zones act as barriers that slow or stop the spread of fire, making it easier for firefighters to protect your property. Here's a detailed look at each zone:

Zone 1: Immediate Zone (0 to 5 feet)

This zone is the area closest to your home, and it's crucial to keep it as free from flammable materials as possible. Our team will:

·        Remove all dead vegetation, including leaves, pine needles, and other debris, from roofs, gutters, porches, decks, and other areas around your home.

·        Replace or repair any loose or missing roof shingles or tiles to prevent embers from penetrating your home.

·        Move any flammable material away from exterior walls, including firewood piles, mulch, and portable propane tanks.

·        Trim trees and shrubs regularly to create a vertical and horizontal separation between vegetation and structures.

Zone 2: Intermediate Zone (5 to 30 feet)

The goal in this zone is to reduce the fire's intensity and slow its progress. Our experts will:

·        Create fuel breaks by separating trees and shrubs and removing any dead vegetation.

·        Prune tree branches to a height of 6 to 10 feet from the ground to prevent ground fires from reaching the tree canopy.

·        Install fire-resistant landscaping using plants with high moisture content and low flammability.

·        Maintain grass at a maximum height of 4 inches to minimize flammable ground cover.

Zone 3: Extended Zone (30 to 100 feet)

This zone's purpose is to reduce the energy and speed of the fire. Our team will:

·        Remove dead plants, trees, and shrubs to minimize the amount of available fuel.

·        Thin out trees to create more space between canopies, reducing the fire's ability to spread from tree to tree.

·        Regularly mow grass and clear away fallen leaves, needles, and twigs to maintain a low-fuel environment.

·        Incorporate firebreaks and other barriers to slow the fire's progress and protect your home.
