Cedar hedges are highly flammable due to their volatile oils and natural resins. These hedges also produce a large amount of dry dead material within the hedge adding to their fire hazard risk. Consider swapping cedar hedges and other flammable vegetation for fire-resistant plants. Be sure to keep a 1.5 meter combustible free zone around your home and choose FireSmart vegetation for your property outside of this zone.

For more information on hedges, check out the FireSmart BC Guide to Lower Risk Plants for Hedges, Privacy & Screening:
