With Zone Poker, the Ignition Miles system works the exact same way as a standard cash game. However, because Zone Poker gives you the ability to play more hands in the same amount of time. Research shows that while a holistic, comprehensive approach is important for other aspects of wildfire safety, such as evacuations and response, the home ignition zone is a critical component for reducing.

• AutoZone has the lowest prices on ignition switches from trusted brands such as Duralast, Locksmart and ACDelco. Diagnosing a Failing Ignition Switch The ignition switch turns on when you insert a key into the ignition.
• Some people are saying they are beating the games for 10bb+/100. I guess its possible, but the math behind it doesn't seem likely. For example at $25NL that would mean $2.50 / 100 hands with about 200 hands per hour so $5 per table. You can two table $25NL zone and two table $50NL zone.

Homeowners, landowners and communities bear the ultimate responsibility to help protect themselves, their property and their local values at risk from the threat of wildland fire.

What Is A Home Ignition Zone

How You Can Protect Your Home, Property and Forest

Homeowners can take steps to protect their property and help alleviate the spread of wildland fires. Many Coloradans living in the foothills in ponderosa and lodgepole forests need to consider the fire-prone nature of these ecosystems.

Due to Colorado’s arid climate and fire-dependent forests, many homeowners and landowners may be particularly vulnerable to wildfires. It is important to keep this threat in mind when buying or building a home.

Fire is unpredictable. If there are weaknesses in your home’s fire protection scheme, fire can gain the upper hand because of some overlooked or seemingly inconsequential factor. By creating wildfire-defensible zones (738 KB PDF), homes are less vulnerable from this naturally occurring phenomenon and the chance of spreading wildfires is greatly reduced.

The Home Ignition Zone

Two factors have emerged as the primary determinants of a home’s ability to survive a wildfire – quality of the defensible space around the home and the home’s structural ignitability.

Together, these two factors create a concept called the Home Ignition Zone (HIZ), which includes the structure and the space immediately surrounding the structure. To protect a home from wildfire, the primary goal is to reduce or eliminate fuels and ignition sources within the HIZ.

Defensible Space

Defensible space is the area around a home or other structure that has been modified to reduce fire hazard. In this area, natural and manmade fuels are treated, cleared or reduced to slow the spread of wildfire. Creating defensible space also works in the reverse, and reduces the chance of a structure fire spreading to neighboring homes or the surrounding forest. Defensible space gives your home a fighting chance against an approaching wildfire.

Creating an effective defensible space involves a series of management zones in which different treatment techniques are used. Develop these zones around each building on your property, including detached garages, storage buildings, barns and other structures.

The actual design and development of your defensible space depends on several factors.

• Size and shape of building(s)
• Construction materials
• Slope of the ground
• Surrounding topography
• Sizes and types of vegetation on your property

Defensible Space Management Zones

Three zones need to be addressed when creating defensible space:

• Zone 1 is the area nearest the home and other structures – This zone requires maximum hazard reduction.
• Zone 2 is a transitional area of fuels reduction between Zones 1 and 3.
• Zone 3 is the area farthest from the home. It extends from the edge of Zone 2 to your property boundaries.

For more information on how to create wildfire-defensible space around your home, including the three defensible space zones, refer to the CSFS publication:

You may want to request additional guidance from a forester at your local CSFS district or field office, fire department or a consulting forester as you plan defensible space for your property.

Structural Ignitability

The ideal time to address home ignition risk is when the structure is in the design phase. However, you can still take steps to reduce ignitability to an existing home.

For instance, it is important to choose a fire-resistant roofing material that is rated class C or higher when building a house in, or near, forests or grasslands. Avoid flammable materials such as wood or shake shingles.

For more information on appropriate roofing materials and other fire-resistant building designs and materials, refer to the CSFS publication:
