Photograph the home-ignition zone at an invited flat-lot Quincy property (2026-07-18)
Quincy sits in the Feather River Canyon country the 2021 Dixie Fire burned around for weeks, and while the town itself came through with little damage, residents on flat, open lots at the town's edge still carry the same debris-buildup risk that made nearby communities vulnerable. A photo survey of the first five feet around the home, on level ground with no slope work involved, tells the next crew exactly what needs clearing. Standard: CAL FIRE defensible space zone 0 assessment + SDG 11 Proof: Photo log of the 5-ft zone with a ranked list Method (CAL FIRE defensible space zone 0 assessment + SDG 11): 1. Walk the perimeter within 5 feet of the home's exterior walls on the flat, level yard. 2. Photograph any dry needles, mulch, woodpiles, or plants touching the structure. 3. Photograph all vents, eaves, and under-deck spaces for gaps or debris. 4. Note which items are within safe, ground-level reach to clear by hand. 5. Rank the findings from most to least urgent. 6. Hand the ranked, photographed list to the resident and the next crew. Done when: Photo log of the 5-ft zone with a ranked list
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 45โ90 minutes. Method of record: NFPA 1144 / Firewise USA structure-ignition-zone defensible-space assessment โ documentation-only from a safe public/yard vantage
Bring
- camera with zoom
- GPS-capable phone
- tape measure or pace-count reference
- Firewise USA zone checklist
- field notebook
Steps
- 1. Document only โ photograph Zone 0 (0-5 ft from the structure), Zone 1 (5-30 ft) and Zone 2 (30-100 ft) from the driveway or yard edge; never enter dense brush or approach a structurally questionable outbuilding.
- 2. Note vegetation type, spacing and ladder-fuel presence (brush touching tree canopy) in each zone from the safe vantage.
- 3. Photograph the roof material, gutters, vents, and any firewood or combustible material stacked against the structure.
- 4. Compile the zone-by-zone findings into a defensible-space checklist naming what a licensed/credentialed vegetation-management crew should clear first; never clear, cut, or move anything during this survey.
If it does not match the plan
- Any combustible material (mulch, firewood, dry vegetation) touching the structure in Zone 0 -> flag as highest-priority clearing item.
- Ladder fuel (brush contacting tree canopy) found in Zone 1 -> flag for a credentialed crew's thinning pass.
- Any structurally unstable or fire-damaged outbuilding observed -> do not approach; note location only and route to the local fire authority.
What counts as done
- Photo set covering all three ignition zones from a safe, named vantage point
- Roof/gutter/combustible-storage condition photographed
- Zone-by-zone checklist compiled naming the follow-on clearing job
