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. By implementing these measures, residents can help safeguard their properties and contribute to community-wide wildfire prevention efforts.
