Coverage contract

fire performance · reviewed: Maine Forest Service presents a partial list for landscaping 30-100 feet from a structure. FireApproved publishes only 39 unique exact current/accepted matches plus Rhus typhina from the source's explicit parenthetical; unresolved, abbreviated, misspelled, absent, and duplicate-owner rows remain held.

The official PDF contains 50 individually named tree, shrub, vine/ground-cover, and perennial rows. Listed plants map to recommend only within the source's stated 30-100-foot landscaping placement.

Tier 2 agency compilation with no stated testing method. The source calls the list partial and limits its use statement to the 30-100-foot portion of the home ignition zone. The 50 printed plant rows are fully accounted for; only conservative unique identity joins publish.
