Fuel is simply what the fire burns. In this case, vegetation, dead trees, and grass are common examples. Fuel has built up in our forests over the last several years because a lack of consistent rainfall has only allowed new vegetation to grow and die every year, this lack of water has left the trees stressed and susceptible to wildfire. https://www.firebreakcalifornia.com/our-team daily 0.75 2026-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e474894cf05041cb5e7ffcb/1627590170986-V9S4PO5AQK6WV8BEN8XQ/Placerville+Bushwhackers.jpg Our Team - Sam (left) and Harry Taylor (right) https://www.firebreakcalifornia.com/what-we-do daily 0.75 2026-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e474894cf05041cb5e7ffcb/1581970369692-S2UYQBM89BRFW0U6IJXG/chainsaw-equipment-machine-594604.jpg What We Do - We create a Defensible Space around your home By removing fuel around your structures and the bases of trees we reduce a fire’s ability to burn your home, and give the fire department time to take action. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e474894cf05041cb5e7ffcb/05c4093a-4d69-40c3-80a7-11ca5e27d523/Harry+in+a+tree.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e474894cf05041cb5e7ffcb/1625201179591-ZHT9AWNG5M1UEGB62QBK/F-150%2Buphill.jpg What We Do - We Work with You to Determine what’s Best for Your Property Before cutting anything, our foreman will have a detailed discussion about which particular plants or trees you want to save, and we will plan accordingly, clearing around those particular plants.
