OAKLAND, Calif., Sept. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Just like home-security systems and motion-detectors protect your home and family, creating 100 feet of defensible space around your property serves as another way for you to keep what you own and those you love safe.

Key Points:

On the Safety Action Center, you'll find the popular "7 Saturdays to a Fire-Resistant Home" video series including an entire episode on creating defensible space .
"The best part is that all of this can be done in just a couple hours on a Saturday," Hawks says.
