Jim McDonald Don't fuel the fire Nearly every state has ex- perienced fires that rage out of control in the landscape. While the largest and most devastating burn in the West, fires also spread in the East and South, where sub- urb meets country or hous- ing development meets con- servation land. Homeowners can protect their properties in two ways: • Design and maintain a landscape that discourages fires. • Build with flame-resis- tant materials. "Fires need fuel, such as dead trees, shrubs and grasses," says Tchukki An- dersen, BCMA, CTSP* and staff arborist with the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA). "While no land- scape is fireproof, there are steps you can take to reduce the danger." TCIA offers these tips for your landscape to combat wildfires: • If you are in a wild- fire-prone area, reduce the amount of potential fuel around your home. Provide enough tree- and shrub-free space between your home and the undeveloped land to help ensure that your home can survive without fire- fighters. • All dead branches that hang over your roof should be removed. Leaves, nee- dles and other dead vegeta- tion should not be allowed to build up on the roof or in gutters. • In parts of the country where wildfires are rare but still possible, an area of well- irrigated vegetation should extend at least 30 feet from your home on all sides. In high-hazard areas, a clear- ance of between 50 and 100 feet or more may be neces- sary—especially on down- hill sides of the lot. • Further from the house, install low-growing shrubs. When planting trees, space them no closer than 10 feet apart. Beyond 100 feet from the house, dead wood and older trees should be re- moved or thinned by quali- fied professionals. • The lower limbs of tall shade trees should be pruned six feet above the ground. A professional ar- borist should always be con- tacted to remove any large broken or dead limbs high in the tree. Careful pruning preserves a tree's appear- ance, enhances structural integrity and assists in the plant's ability to resist fire. "As a general rule, the healthier the tree, the more likely it is to survive a fire," explains Andersen. "In ad- dition to pruning, a profes- sional arborist can recom- mend fertilization, soil man- agement, disease treatment or pest control measures to promote healthy trees. Landscape design and main- tenance are also important factors in a home's survival."
