The Department of Agriculture and Environmental Management protects the health and safety of people by addressing structure fire hazards existing on properties in the environments where people live, eat, and play. Inspections are done to ensure that there is safe defensible space to minimize the risk of fire spreading to a structure.

The number of inspections performed is an indicator of the potential risk to the general public. The compliance rate represents the percent of property owners that took positive action to make their property safe and the number of parcels abated represents the number pf properties in which the County stepped in as a result of non-compliance to oversee the application of mechanical abatement.
