Defensible space inspections are a critical proactive measure in mitigating the risks associated with wildfires. In regions prone to wildfires, these inspections play a fundamental role in creating a buffer zone around properties, reducing the potential for fire to rapidly advance and minimizing the impact on both lives and valuable assets. You can request an inspection from your local fire agency. If yours is not listed here, please email the Fire Adapted Nevada Coordinator at knevills@forestry.nv.gov.
