Maintenance: brush clearance (LA Fire Department requirements)

May 1rst

“Brush Clearance” is the legal term to describe required
treatments or thinning of vegetation on your property to reduce
fire hazards.

Proper maintenance of fire safety does not mean
eradication of all plants, but rather the selective removal of
highly flammable vegetation. When done well, “cleared”
areas should still protect against excessive erosion and
provide wildlife habitat.
