Ogden, UT – Ogden Fire Department is encouraging residents to take proactive steps in reducing wildfire risk by maintaining defensible space beyond their immediate backyard.
The area 5 to 30 feet from a home, known as Zone 2, and the space beyond 30 feet, referred to as Zone 3, play a crucial role in protecting properties from wildfires.
Officials recommend breaking up dense vegetation, trimming overgrown trees, and ensuring emergency vehicles have clear access to homes.
