The City of Prescott has valuable information to assist homeowners during wildfire season.
Your first defense against wildfire is to create and maintain a defensible space around your home. However, this does not mean your landscape has to be barren. Defensible space is a man-made or natural area where the vegetation is modified to slow the rate and intensity of an advancing wildfire. It also creates an area for fire suppression operations and helps protect the forest from being involved should a structure fire occur.
