Common ladder fuels include tall grasses, shrubs, and tree branches, both living and dead. Ladder fuels include dry debris in gutters, woodpiles, wooden fences, and outdoor structures. Efforts should be made to ensure separation and clearance is maintained around them to prevent the spread of fire to your home. Defensible space breaks up the continuity of fuel horizontally and vertically, interrupting the spread of fire to your home during wildfires. LEARN MORE
