Duce Construction Champions Zone Zero Fire-Resistant Fencing

With wildfire season looming, Duce Construction Deck and Fence is calling attention to a crucial but often overlooked component of home fire safety: Zone Zero fencing in their blog post at https://duceco.com/ultimate-guide-zone-zero-protection/. As the first five feet surrounding a home are now widely recognized by Cal Fire and the California Board of Forestry as the most vulnerable to ignition from embers, Duce Construction is urging Bay Area residents to replace combustible fencing with fire-resistant alternatives designed to stop flames before they reach the structure.

"Homeowners often think defensible space starts at 30 or even 100 feet from the home, but the most important zone begins right at the foundation," said company owner Adam Duce. "Zone Zero fencing is your home's first line of defense, and it can mean the difference between total loss and total protection during a wildfire."

The company's latest fire safety campaign, launched this spring, highlights how fire spreads not only through direct flame contact but also through embers carried by wind and radiated heat from nearby materials. Duce Construction recommends replacing flammable fencing, such as wood or vinyl, with non-combustible options like aluminum, steel, fiber cement, or masonry. These materials are better able to withstand extreme heat and block airborne embers that ignite structures and landscaping.

Duce Construction also assists homeowners in designing fences that do more than resist flame - they actively enhance safety by incorporating ember-blocking screens, proper spacing from structures, and sealed gaps that prevent ignition points. The company works directly with licensed contractors and often collaborates with homeowners' insurance carriers to ensure compliance with the latest fire mitigation protocols, potentially qualifying clients for reduced premiums or policy protections.

"With more insurers using drones to monitor fire compliance, homeowners need smart, preventative solutions," Duce added. "Our fire-resistant fences aren't just code-compliant - they're beautiful, functional, and insurance-smart."

Founded over 40 years ago, Duce Construction Deck and Fence has earned a reputation for crafting high-end outdoor structures that merge safety, privacy, and architectural elegance. As wildfire threats grow, the company remains committed to equipping Bay Area homeowners with fencing that meets both aesthetic expectations and the highest fire safety standards.
