Fire Breaks and Fuels Management
|
,
Wildfires on Maui are becoming more frequent and damaging, as a result of vast acres of former farm land lying fallow and recent long term drought conditions. Protect your property, home, or business with the only fail-safe method: effective FIRE BREAKS and FUELS MANAGEMENT. Fire Officials agree that, by removing the ladder fuel needed for fire to "jump" or "flow" from one property to the next, wildfires can be redirected or contained with effective fire breaks. |
Timely elimination of overgrown trees and brush on your property will prevent the threat caused by ladder fuel during fires. Fire breaks cut around your property's boundaries and structures reduce the threat of a fire on your property or on neighboring lot. Protect your property and avoid costly damage or fines by eliminating ladder fuels and overgrown vegetation.
Residential Fire BreaksProtect your family and home from natural disasters, including wildfires, heavy winds, and hurricanes, by creating space between your structures and the surrounding vegetation. Fire breaks along your property's boundaries can also prevent a wild fire from "jumping" onto your land by removing the "ladder fuel" that the fire follows.
