Fire Mitigation

What Are Defensible Spaces?

Defensible spaces are areas around your home designed to slow down or stop a wildfire to protect your property. They include managed landscapes where plants, trees, and other vegetation are trimmed and spaced strategically to prevent fires from gaining momentum. Think of these spaces as protective zones that act like firebreaks, giving firefighters a better chance to protect your home.

How Do You Protect Your Property From Forest Fires?

Wildfires are becoming increasingly common and can seriously threaten your property.

Here's how you can protect your property from forest fires:

• Clear vegetation around your home: Vegetation near your home can fuel a wildfire, making it essential to keep it at a safe distance.
• Thin out trees: Dense and overgrown tree areas are highly susceptible to fire. Thinning out trees can create natural barriers and reduce the spread of flames.
• Remove dead or dying plants: Dead and dying plants are more flammable than healthy ones, so you need to remove them from your property.

Estes Valley Tree Care LLC's Fire Mitigation Services

Our fire mitigation services are designed to keep your property as safe as possible from wildfires by creating defensible spaces. We use special equipment and techniques to ensure that your landscape is well-prepared to resist fires.

Here's how we achieve this:

• High-capacity chipping: Our equipment can rapidly chip pollen debris, allowing us to complete tasks faster without compromising the quality of work.
• 75-foot bucket trucks: This allows us to efficiently clear tall trees and other vegetation, extending the defensible space around your home.
• Mini excavators and skid-steers: These machines clear out dense vegetation and build firebreaks.
• Tree pruning and trimming: We ensure that the trees on your property are properly maintained, reducing the risk of falling branches or debris during a wildfire.

Does Preventing Fire Risks Help Maintain Insurance Premiums?

Preventing fire risks involves taking proactive steps to make your property safer, which can help keep your insurance policy intact. If your property is at risk, your insurance company may send you a letter requiring you to make certain improvements. If these are not addressed, there’s a possibility that your policy could be canceled due to increased fire risk.

By investing in proper fire mitigation services, you'll be able to maintain your insurance coverage and potentially even lower your premiums.

Save Tax Money

Additionally, you can potentially write off fire mitigation as a tax expense. We are not accountants, but we can provide you with information regarding that. Your tax adviser may know more as well.
