Is Your Home in Eugene Prepared for Wildfire Risk?

We restore fire damage 24 hours a day in Lane County.

It’s wildfire season and our local South Eugene and Florence teams want everyone to be prepared for wildfire risk. The Oregon Office of the State Fire Marshal urges residents to create a buffer of defensible space between their home or business and the grass, trees, shrubs, and any wildland area that surrounds it.

The National Fire Protection Association suggests choosing fire-resistant building materials and limiting the amount of flammable vegetation in three home ignition zones.

• Trim branches that overhang the home, porch, and deck
• Prune branches of large trees up to 6 to 10 feet from the ground
• Remove plants containing resins, oils, and waxes
• Use crushed stone or gravel instead of flammable mulches from 0 to 5 feet around the house
• Keep your landscape in good condition

Wildfires can send embers flying up to three to five miles ahead of a large flame front, so any steps to protect your property in advance of a fire threat will minimize the chances of sustaining wildfire damage.
