Living in San Ramon and San Jose, you are undoubtedly aware of the high risk of wildfires, especially during the hot and dry summer months. Even if you’ve just moved here, you know fires are a real threat. This is especially true during droughts or in peak summer months. A firebreak is a strip of land where vegetation has been removed or modified to slow or stop the spread of a wildfire.
Firebreaks work by clearing away combustible materials, such as shrubs. They create gaps in combustible materials, helping stop fires from reaching structures. Firebreaks also provide firefighters a safer place to work when fighting a blaze.
Wildfires spread quickly and can destroy homes, businesses, and natural habitats. At Majestic Tree Service, our skilled team builds firebreaks to keep your property safe from fires. Removing vegetation and creating a safe space can help protect your home or business from fire damage.

What is the difference between a fireline and a firebreak?
A firebreak is a wide strip of land cleared of vegetation to prevent or slow the spread of wildfire, while a fireline is a narrower strip, often created during active wildfire suppression, also cleared of vegetation, to act as a control line to contain the fire.
Essentially, firebreaks are preventative measures, while firelines are reactive measures during a fire.
