From the text ... 'National Fire Plan funds in 2008 and 2009 that helped equip Maine's Defensible Space Chipping Program have changed the landscape for many of Maine's population who live in the wildland-urban interface (WUI). In the WUI, where structures intermingle with natural vegetation and wildfires threaten lives, homes, and property, more than 300 homeowners have increased their defensible space, 944 acres have been treated, and 368 tons of hazardous fuels have been removed since the State received the funding..'
