“It was big enough to get really worried about it.” In 2025, the Bonanza Fire burned right up to Jim Ferguson’s property. He was told by fire crews that the roads cut in around his home and trimmed landscape lent to not only his home’s survival, but the ability for them to fight the fire. Jim’s property shows what’s possible over time, but keep in mind that defensible space isn’t about perfection or doing it all at once. It’s about starting where you are and building from there. It’s a work in progress, and every step you take makes a real difference. #DefensibleSpace #Zone0 #WorkInProgress #CALFIRE
