Hazardous Fuels Reduction Services

Fire risk is an ever-increasing hazard in our dry season and mitigating those risks on your landscape can help prevent the spread of fire and protect your property. At John the Arborist, we specialize in fire mitigation and fuels reduction in Bellingham, WA, to help you safeguard your home and business from the devastating effects of wildfires. Our team can remove fuels that feed catastrophic fires such as standing dead timber, brush piles, and low hanging branches.

With an increase in instability in the environment, wildfires, and other hazards have become frequent. In 2018 Washington State lost 438,868 acres to wildfire, 84% of those fires were human caused.

Our team follows industry accepted strategies and applies experience and professionalism to help protect your property from wildfire. We will remove material that will reduce the risk of a catastrophic blaze and identify other fuels that could present fire danger in the future.

After the ground is clear of woody debris, dead trees are removed from site. To finish, any dead or low hanging branches are removed. These branches are called “Ladder Fuels” and provides the fire a means of climbing trees into the canopy.

The Science of Hazardous Fuels

Understanding hazardous fuels is essential to effective fire mitigation. Hazardous fuels include standing dead timber, brush piles, and low-hanging branches. These materials can easily ignite and spread fire across your property. Ladder fuels, in particular, play a significant role in fire behavior. They allow fires to climb from the ground into the tree canopy, where they can spread rapidly and cause extensive damage. By targeting these specific fuels, we can significantly reduce the fire risk to your landscape.
