With plants drying out despite recent rain, officials are urging residents to create “defensible space” around homes by clearing flammable brush — not just as advice, but as a growing legal requirement in some areas, with statewide mandates looming. Residents are feeling the urgency, especially in fire-prone zones like Oakland Hills, where community safety hinges on collective action. Fire departments stress that even small efforts — trimming vegetation, removing dead plants — make a big difference. This isn’t just about protecting your home; it’s about safeguarding your neighbors and the whole community. Now’s the time to act — because prevention is the best defense when fire season really ignites. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
