Heavy Equipment can quickly clear a fire break during an emergency. However, early preparation and fire wise landscaping during cooler weather will be much more effective than waiting until the last minute. Resources needed to protect your home or business may not be available during fire season.

Understanding the relationship between earthwork and water resources is essential in fire resilience planning. Permaculture design enhances fire wise landscapes by creating micro-climates and developing other water resources, such as ponds or water catch storage tanks. Earthwork lays the foundation in a fire wise landscape.
