The March FireWise Home of the Month belongs to Gary Williams of Ozark, Arkansas.

The Williams home has more than ample defensible space, but they did not have to remove all the vegetation to gain that safety factor. Note the absence of ladder fuels close to the home.

Wildfire cannot spread to this FireWise home across this grassy area.

Shown here are Gary Williams, the homeowner, and Fred Mullen, Franklin County OES Coordinator.
