Boynton Beach is not in a high-risk wildfire zone but borders the Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge and several preserves where brush fires occur during drought. Residents near the western preserves should maintain defensible space.
Florida Forest Service Wildfire Risk Assessment rates most of Boynton Beach as Low to Moderate risk due to urban density. Properties west of US-441 adjoining preserve land face elevated exposure during La Nina dry seasons. FL Firewise guidelines recommend 30-foot defensible space: cleared zone of non-flammable landscaping closest to the home, then reduced-fuel zone to 100 feet. Palm Beach County Fire Rescue and Boynton Beach Fire Rescue conduct joint pre-suppression exercises in the Agricultural Reserve.
No specific wildfire-zone fines. Failure to clear brush after notice: standard nuisance abatement ($250 plus costs). Ignition causing wildfire: restitution under FL §590.28 plus suppression cost recovery.
