In the 'Threatened Defensible' category, what does this indicate about the structure?

In the 'Threatened Defensible' category, indicating that the structure requires protection tactics from firefighters shows that the structure is still at risk but is defensible. This classification means that although the structure has some measures in place to protect it from wildfire threats, it still needs active intervention to enhance those protections effectively against an imminent fire threat.

Implementing protection tactics may include creating defensible space, using fire retardant techniques, or conducting emergency preparations to shield the structure from potential flames or heat exposure. The need for these actions suggests that while there may be some level of safety, the risk is significant enough that firefighters must take proactive steps to further safeguard the property. This level of classification is crucial for prioritizing resources and effectively responding to wildfire emergencies.
