"[The fire marshal] told me that if I had not had Fire Ready create a defensible space around our home, it would have surely been lost in the fire. . . ."

Wildfire Mitigation & Defensible Space

Creating defensible space is the number one step homeowners can take to reduce their risk from wildfire.  As the leading fire mitigation and forestry company in Colorado, Fire Ready works closely with our clients to create a wildfire-resistant landscape.  This typically involves removing ladder fuels - brush and other low-lying vegetation - that can carry fire upwards into trees and structures, and also by thinning crowded trees.  Removing certain trees creates a more open, healthy and aesthetically pleasing forest.  (It looks good because it's how a naturally healthy forest would look.)

What Do I Get From Wildfire Mitigation?

• Reduce the risk to your home and property from fire
• Create firefighter "safe-zones"
• Enhance landscapes and natural beauty
• Restore natural forest health
• Improve scenic views
• Increase property value

The Risk of Wildfire

People are learning that along with the joy of living in a forested area comes a new responsibility:  to be active stewards of our land.  Colorado's forests are already suffering from the effects of a century of fire suppression.  Now, it seems, our climate is becoming not only warmer but drought-prone as well.  As a result, the wildfire risk is greater than ever.  Fortunately, you're not helpless.  With Fire Ready's help, you can reduce wildfire risk to your home and property, your forests, and your community.
