The Extended Zone (10-30m) focuses on reducing wildfire intensity before it reaches your home. This can be achieved by selectively thinning evergreen trees to maintain at least 3 m of spacing between tree crowns and pruning branches to keep a minimum 2 m clearance from the ground. Because this zone often extends onto neighbouring properties, working together with your neighbours can help create a larger, more effective FireSmart area and better protect the entire community.
