How it works

The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources says more than half of Pennsylvania’s wildfire ignitions occur in the wildland-urban interface, and it publishes prevention and mitigation guidance for property owners.

What the guidance says homeowners should do

The page recommends home-ignition-zone preparation:

  • Immediate Zone (0–5 feet): keep the area free of anything that can burn, such as mulch, wood piles, or dry vegetation
  • Intermediate Zone (5–30 feet): create space and breaks in landscaping to slow a fire down
  • Extended Zone (30–100 feet): thin out trees and brush to reduce how quickly a fire could spread toward the home

What it pays for

No money is provided on this page. It is guidance only.

Why it is included

You asked to prioritize wildfire. This is the main statewide official source I found for wildfire home hardening advice, but not a financial incentive.
