Fire Code Compliance for City and County Ordinance
At Fireprotec, we ensure your property meets all local fire code and defensible space requirements set by city and county ordinances. Whether you’ve received a notice from the fire department, an insurance company, or simply want to make your property safer, our team helps you stay compliant with the rules designed to reduce wildfire risk and protect structures from ignition.
A key part of fire safety compliance involves maintaining the three Defensible Space Zones outlined in NFPA 1140 standards:
Zone 0: The Ember-Resistant Zone (0–5 feet)
This area is closest to your home or structure and must be completely free of combustible materials. We clear vegetation, dry debris, and wood materials that could ignite from embers — creating a critical barrier that protects your home during wildfire conditions.Zone 1: The Lean, Clean, and Green Zone (5–30 feet)
This zone focuses on reducing radiant heat and direct flame exposure to your home. We thin out vegetation, remove dead plants, and maintain proper spacing between shrubs and trees to keep this area clean, open, and compliant with NFPA standards.Zone 2: The Reduced Fuel Zone (30–100 feet)
Extending outward, Zone 2 is designed to slow the spread of fire by reducing the amount and continuity of vegetation. Our team strategically cuts, trims, and separates growth to maintain safe clearances and reduce fuel buildup across your property.
Following the NFPA 1140 defensible space guidelines not only keeps you compliant with City and County Ordinances, but also strengthens your property’s protection against wildfire. With decades of field experience, Fireprotec delivers the knowledge, equipment, and precision needed to keep your land in full fire-safe condition.
