Residents of Block House MUD, Priority Landscapes will focus on fire-breaking the red areas in the neighborhood, which are behind resident homes, creeks, and trails.

Fire-breaking involves clearing an area of any combustible material, such as trees, shrubs, and grass. This creates a 'fuel-free' zone that helps reduce the intensity of a fire and provides extra protection to the homes. The cleared land forms an effective break in both the vertical and horizontal continuity of the fuel, which reduces the flame length and makes it easier to suppress the fire.
