Your property Ignition Zone (HIZ) is the three area zones on your structure, including the Immediate Zone that is 0 to 5 feet around the home, the Intermediate Zone that is 5 to 30 feet and the Extended Zone – 30 to 100 feet zone and further. Reducing flammable vegetation, choosing fire-resistant building materials and construction techniques, and regularly maintaining the areas within the Home Ignition Zone all exponentially decrease the chances your home will ignite when exposed to embers direct fire.
