California State Fire Marshal Daniel Berlant demonstrates the key elements:
Creating a 5-foot non-combustible area around the home
Removing flammable materials near the house
Using non-combustible pots for plants
Spacing trees and vegetation strategically
Limbing up trees (5 feet from sides, 10 feet from rooftop)
Replacing wood fences with metal/non-combustible alternatives
Keeping plants away from windows, vents, and glass areas
