Back in August Tony had a DNR (Department of Natural Resources) Fire Forester guy come out to look at our place and let us know how we would fare if a wildfire came through. {click here} Before he left he gave us a bunch of information on how to make the defensible space around our home even better.
Going
through all the paperwork he gave us, a little extra research online, and
talking about what we still needed to do around our house, we decided to apply
for a permit to clear a dozen or so trees and underbrush. After numerous phone calls and emails, five
months later we have a wood permit in hand.
This will give us our ideal defensible space around our home (and an
extra bonus of more sunlight in the winter months).
So in
addition to finishing up the screenings (yes we’re still working on that)
{click here}, Tony has now started to fall a few trees.
