Protect Your Home: Start with the First Five Feet

Start with the First Five Feet

The first five feet around your home can make a significant difference in reducing the risk of fire spreading to your property. Creating a fire-safe zone helps protect your family, your home, and your neighborhood.

Fire Safety Tips

Keep the Area Clean
Remove dead leaves, pine needles, grass clippings, and other yard debris on a regular basis. Dry vegetation can ignite easily and allow fire to spread quickly.
Choose Landscaping Wisely
Avoid placing combustible mulch directly against your home's exterior. Use rock, gravel, or other noncombustible materials next to your foundation whenever possible.
Trim Trees and Shrubs
Keep shrubs well maintained and trim tree branches so they do not touch your home, roof, or extend over chimneys.
Clean Gutters and Roof Areas
Remove leaves, pine needles, and other debris from gutters and roof surfaces, especially during the fall and after storms.
Store Combustible Materials Safely
Keep firewood, propane cylinders, gasoline, and other flammable materials away from your home. Store them according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Inspect Your Home's Exterior
Regularly check vents, decks, porches, and the spaces beneath them for leaves, debris, and other combustible materials.

A Little Prevention Goes a Long Way

Spending just a few minutes throughout the year maintaining the area immediately surrounding your home can significantly reduce fire hazards and improve your home's safety.

Expanding Public Safety: Preparing for the future

In 2024, the Board of County Commissioners approved a $65M bond to build new fire stations and improve a public safety radio tower, which will help expand emergency services to Clay County residents. Station 20 in Green Cove Springs, which opened in August, 2025, is the first of these new stations. The County also purchased property for future builds.
