	Plants and Fire-resistance FIREWISE recommends fire-resistant plant materials to be included as part of a landscaping plan to help reduce the risk of fire spreading from a forested area to a home. Which types of plants are best? What makes a plant more or less fire-resistant? (click on "plant selection" at the bottom of this page)
