CDF Website: 100 Feet Defensible Space

 
Great page on the CDF Website. From that overview site check out the Homeowners Checklist Page and check out the interactive visuals linked on the bottom of the page.

"The CDF Homeowners Checklist is your tool for fire safety inside and outside your home. Print it out and use it as a handy guide to check safety measures room by room. Then head outside and make sure you have taken all possible precautions against wildfire."

Some of the 220 plus homes lost to the Angora Fire might still be standing if homeowners had taken appropriate preventative measures. (Tahoe Regional Planning Board be damned).
It's really not a tree hugging issue as much as the safety of fire personnel and saving personal possessions.
