Jack Cohen, a wildfire expert and fire research scientist, further explains the concept of home ignition zone in Part 2 of Wildfire! Preventing Home Ignition.
Wildfire behavior analysis and investigations have shown that creating a home ignition zone can help reduce the risk of homes being consumed in a wildfire. Jack details the steps that you can take to establish a home ignition zone:
• Changing a wooden roof to a fire-resistant roof
• Reducing vegetation around the home
• Creating clearance of 100 feet between the home and forest area
Structures that are destroyed by wildfire are more often destroyed by embers, or fire brands. Fire brands can be blown onto surfaces and pile up like snow. These small ignitions are often the direct cause of homes being lost in a wildfire.
