100 feet or roughly 30.5 meters. Maybe, if you are in around the middle of residential area, your house will escape. Meaning if your neighbor's tree or house burns, it will not ignite yours--if you do all that's required. Next to the forest? Not a chance. A little wind and you see how fast flames move.
Also in a community, not everyone (or maybe, very few) has a 100 feet room to clear and maintain.
Edit: Even if you do have 100 feet to maintain, go on a two week vacation and see how many leaves gather.
- wahern 7y ago> Edit: Even if you do have 100 feet to maintain, go on a two week vacation and see how many leaves gather. You don't need a 100-foot break to protect your house from burning leaves. The 100-foot break is to protect your house from the incinerating radiation of torching trees. You can technically even have trees within the 100-foot break. The goal is to prevent a situation where individually burning trees accelerate combustion in a feedback loop. If they're burning more slowly they're radiating less energy and thus you don't need as much space to the house.
