Defensible Space & Wildfire Prevention

Defensible Space & Wildfire Prevention

Residents of Auburn are acutely aware of the hazards that neglected trees present during wildfire season. Creating and maintaining defensible space around homes and businesses in Auburn is vital for reducing both the spread and damage caused by fire. If you're worried about fire risks, our arborists can offer a comprehensive fire risk assessment for your property.

What is defensible space?

Defensible space refers to a protective buffer zone established between a building or structure and the surrounding landscape. This encompasses trees, shrubs, tall grasses, and any other wildland areas on the premises. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) has provided guidelines aimed at protecting properties from wildfires. As it stands, California law mandates that homeowners within the State Responsibility Area (SRA) adhere to the two defensible space zones outlined by the Board of Forestry and Fire Protection.

How does defensible space factor into wildfire prevention?

Establishing and upkeeping this area plays a crucial role in hindering the spread of wildfires by minimizing the likelihood of ignition transfer. Ultimately, greater distances between objects significantly reduce the chances of fire jumping from one source to another. The establishment of defensible space is both strategic and intentional, aimed at safeguarding your home and belongings from catastrophic harm.


Beyond creating a protective boundary around your property, it also offers a secure zone for firefighters to effectively combat the blaze.

Hear From Satisfied Customers

Companies work hard for their reviews, and these guys definitely earned this review. The communication was top-notch & Their Sawyer was timely polite and just a generally nice guy. The work was relatively dangerous it was overhanging a garage and it was about 50 ft up. The operators confidence and professional rigging made every branch land safely to the ground. I Absolutely recommend this group. I will definitely refer Setare Trees when I'm asked for any difficult tree removal.

I called and was able to get an appointment the next day. The owner, Amber Navarrette, came out to take a look at a tree that fell on our property, as well as one additional tree of concern. Amber is so knowledgeable! We have had trees taken down, or cleaned up after for the past several years and this was the best experience we have ever had. The crew on-site is polite, fast, and cleaned up the property really well. We won't be calling anyone else for any future needs! Well done!

Very knowledgable team, never tried to upsell or convince me I needed unnecessary services. On-site crew were prompt, respectful and clean. They did a fantastic job, and we will be using Setare Trees for all of our arborist needs going forward!

We are very happy with the service that Setare Tree provided. They did a beautiful job trimming our Canary Island Date Palm. These trees are not easy and not every company will service them. The price was reasonable and we were provided with multiple ways to contact them if we had questions. I highly recommend this company.
