With fire prevention landscaping, you can create defensible space around your Rooney Lake residence that reduces your wildfire threat. Large trees should be pruned so that the largest branches are at least 6 to 10 feet from the ground to prevent a fire on the ground from spreading to the tree tops. Within the defensible space, remove flammable plants.
Using a fire resistance roof material (metal, tile, concrete materials) significantly reduces your fire threat. Additionally, fire resistant exteriors make a home less prone to wildfire heat and flames.
