Former HC Tyrone William prevents a fire’s spread by maintaining a defensible perimeter around his home.
Based on the stories I have heard about Coach Willingham’s character, I am not at all surprised to see that he is a thoughtful, informed and responsible neighbor.

Isn't maintaining a defensible perimeter a county ordinance in Santa Clara County? I know it is in Contra Costa.

Every spring, we whack the grass around the house, as do all the neighbors. A big sign goes up on the main road in town reminding everyone that the vegetation abatement deadline is May 31st. Several years ago, I headed out to our driveway and found find a Fire Department car parked in it, with a couple of inspectors inside. I asked them if everything was okay. They told me that our yard was all good, and that they liked using our driveway, as it gave them a great view of the surrounding neighbors and those across the small valley. I told them to feel free to use it anytime.
Tyrone is a law abiding citizen, and by being one, his house didn't burn down. The story is that the vegetation abate actually works.

Similar experience.
I'm in a canyon neighborhood in So Cal, with back yard transitions into wild brush hillsides.
So my neighbors and I have to weed whack and otherwise clear that brush up to our property lines every spring.
If we don't do it the city would eventually do it and charge us an arm and a leg for the privilege.
