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.
