IFZ stands for "Ignition Free Zone." The ignition free zone is the five foot perimeter around the foundation of your home. It's the area where you want nothing - no wood pile, no door mat, no plants, no mulch, no fencing - that is combustible. It's your most important defense area that will either help or hinder a fire when it blows embers towards your property.
Be smart and safe - clean up your property and pay attention to the IFZ!
