fire mitigation strategies

Fire mitigation strategies aim to reduce the risk and impact of wildfires. They include creating defensible space around properties by removing dead plants and brush, using fire-resistant building materials, and maintaining vegetation to prevent rapid fire spread. Community efforts involve creating buffer zones, implementing firebreaks, and enforcing building codes. Additionally, controlled burns manage fuel loads, and early detection systems enable quick responses. These strategies work together to protect lives, properties, and ecosystems by minimizing fire ignition sources and slowing or stopping fires from spreading rapidly.
