other window coverings. This action is to prevent sparks from blowing into the home. Have tools (shovel, rake, etc) and water available. Fill buckets and other bulk containers (Bathtubs, sinks) with water. PROTECT YOURSELF. Wear cotton/wool clothing including long pants, a long sleeved shirt, boots, gloves and a scarf to protect your face. TURN OFF RESIDENTIAL FUEL. If you use propane turn it off at the tank. WET DOWN YOUR ROOF. If your roof is combustible wet it down with a hose, place the ladder on the side opposite the fire. PREPARE AUTOMOBILES FOR EVACUATION. Back as many autos as possible into the garage. Close the garage door. Close the garage door after you as you evacuate. If this is not possible park autos so they are heading in the direction of the evacuation route. If possible TAKE PETS. SAFE EVACUATION. Be aware of escape routes that will allow for safe evacuation from the area and will keep the routes open for the necessary emergency vehicles trying to protect the property. Make sure that your driveway and any bridges or culverts are the recommended width, strength and length to accommodate the width and the weight of emergency vehicles and that it will allow for such vehicles to turn around and pass if necessary. Within five (5) feet of structures: Maintain an area of non-combustible material within 5 feet of structures- flowers, plants, concrete, gravel, mineral soil, etc. If native vegetation is properly modified, a wildfire can be slowed down, the length of flames shortened, and the amount of heat reduced, all of which contribute to a home surviving a fire. Supplemental irrigation is especially important to keep plants green in this area. Within Five (5) to ten (10) feet of Structures: (Increase distance below structure if slope is greater than 10%): Slope affects the size of defensible space. Homes near steep slopes will need to clear additional vegetation to mitigate the effects of radiant and convective heat currents and flame lengths. The downward distance is particularly important because slopes will increase flame length. The area between five (5) feet and thirty (30) feet from the home provides the critical area for firefighting efforts. Fuel reduction is important here in the terms of reduced volume and density. Maintain surface vegetation at Three (3) inches or less in height. Remove all downed trees, bush, limbs, etc.. Prune bushes and shrubs regularly. Remove excess growth as well as dead leaves and branches to decrease their flammability, and the threat they could pose as a ladder fuel during a wild land fire. From ten (10) to Thirty (30) feet of Structure (increase distance below structure if slope is greater than 10%): Reese Creek Zoning District Regulations and Map 91 F:\PLAN\ZONING DISTRICTS Regulations\RC.Reese Creek\R.C.REGS.07 BOA Consol\RC.Final.Regs.2007 BOA consolidation.doc
Slope affects the size if defensible space. Homes near steep slopes will need to clear additional vegetation to mitigate the effects of radiant and convective heat currents and flame lengths. The downward distance is particularly important because slopes will increase flame lengths. Thin trees to ten (10) feet between crowns. Prune limbs of remaining trees to ten (10) to fifteen (15) feet in height from the ground or one-third (1/3) of total live crown, which ever is less. This is to prevent fire burning through tall grass from igniting these limbs and climbing to the top of the trees with relative ease. Remove all downed trees, brush, limbs etc. Thirty (30) feet from structure and Beyond. Effective fuel reduction in this area includes selective pruning and thinning trees and limiting dead trees (Snags) to two (2) per acre. It is also important to make sure that these dead trees cannot fall onto the home or block access roads or driveways. Thin trees to ten (10) to fifteen (15) feet between crowns. Prune limbs on remaining trees to Fifteen (15) feet above the ground. OTHER FIRE SAFE PRACTICES: Give your home added protection with “fuel breaks” such as driveways, gravel, stone, tile, or cement walkways and green lawns. Mow lawns regularly. Remove tall dry grasses. Tall dry grasses provide a path for fire that can lead directly to a home or into trees. Clear or reduce vegetation from alongside your driveway or road edge, and make sure your driveway is wide enough and adequate for fire trucks to turn around. Have the power company cut overhanging branches away from the power lines. Dispose of all slash and flammable debris from your property. If you intend to burn, follow all applicable open burning regulations and requirements (Possess a burn permit; call it in, no burning after sundown, no open burning before March 1 or after November 30 for Gallatin County residences. For this area the Burn permits can be obtained from Central Valley Fire in Belgrade or from a community member (Sandy Maher) who sells them for the department and the cost is $15.00 a year). Clean the roof and gutter of needles, leaves, branches and other combustible debris. During a wild land fire, leaves on the roof and/or in the gutter could be ignited by flying embers.
