- Description: This program is on hold during COVID-19 pandemic.The Defensible Space Advisory Visit program provides a one-on-one consultation and advice at your home for comprehensive education on compliance with Public Resource Code 4291 - the law that requires defensible space around structures. PRC 4291 was expanded in 2005 from 30 feet to 100 feet of clearance.Submit this form to request a visit: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScrblqU0tf4lTQVaK1bmGkmMWgwg1b4YmA0o3d4XsMpAmg9jw/viewformvc=0&c=0&w=1&flr=0Fire Safe Council asks that people please consider making the suggested tax-deductible donation of $25 (to cover cost of training and materials) after their visit. With increased promotion of defensible space, many people were confused and had difficulty understanding what needed to be accomplished. The council implemented a volunteer advisory program with formal training by CAL FIRE and local resources to provide an advisory visit that mirrored a compliance inspection without the threat of enforcement.This has been a very powerful mechanism to gain support in communities as well as inspire action as a whole with neighbors helping neighbors to improve the fire safe condition throughout the neighborhood.The County of Nevada Office of Emergency Services offers a Defensible Space Inspection that is more formal than the Fire Safe Council's Defensible Space Advisory Visit. The County program attends more to compliance and complaint issues.
