Plant List | Fremont County Wildfire

Generally, ignition-resistant plants are ones that are low growing and do not generate a lot of debris such as fronds, leaves or similar material that will act as fuel for a wildfire. Many of these plants are also higher in moisture content and are not as susceptible to a wildfire as other dryer plants would be. Some species are more likely to survive than others depending on your elevation and climate.

Quick Facts:

Ignition-resistant landscaping can be aesthetically pleasing while reducing potential wildfire fuel.
Plant choice, spacing and maintenance are critical.
Your landscape, and the plants in it, must be maintained to retain their Firewise properties.
