What Does El Dorado County's Defensible Space Rule Mean for a Shingle Springs, CA Roof?

El Dorado County's defensible space rule asks Shingle Springs, CA owners to keep at least 100 feet of defensible space around each structure. The county's page does not name roofs. CAL FIRE says to keep the roof itself clear of debris and vegetation. Ask the county and your fire district what applies to your address. We plan roof work around what they tell you.

  • Inspection areas: The county lists South Shingle Springs among its 2023 CAL FIRE defensible space inspection areas.
  • Gutter covers: CAL FIRE says gutters without covers can collect debris that fire can ignite.
  • Vent openings: CAL FIRE says attic and underfloor vents with openings larger than one eighth inch are susceptible to embers.
  • Up to 300: In some cases, a county inspector may require up to 300 feet of defensible space.

What Shingle Springs Roofs Actually Deal With

Summer Heat, Autumn-to-Spring Rain

A UC Master Gardeners page says a Mediterranean climate has summer temperatures from the mid 80s to the 100s. The same page says most rain falls from autumn to spring. Sun wears on shingles and seals, and rain finds loose flashing. We find the cause and repair it.

Oaks and the County

Wildfire Areas
