FIRE MITIGATION
Following FireSmart Canada guidelines, we help protect your home by strategically removing fuels to reduce fire intensity and ignition points. Our services include:
-
Lifting conifer canopies to at least 6 feet off the ground to eliminate ladder fuels;
-
Thinning trees to 2–3 metre spacing to mitigate fire transfer;
-
Clearing deadwood and brush to reduce overall fuel load;
-
Removing trees in proximity to structures.
These are all proven strategies for defending your structure against wildfires, which can help reduce insurance costs.
