I am thrilled to have wildfire part of this credit but the text provided is not very clear and also not up to date in some of its references. I suggest the following wording to make it more clear:
Follow guidelines in NFPA 1140, Standard for Wildland Fire Protection, 2022 edition or subsequent editions, pertaining to assessing wildland fire hazards in the structure ignition zone; building design, location and construction; and treatment of the fuel modification area around structures. Reference SITES v2 Credit 4.11 to design landscape and structures for ignition resistance. Reduce vegetative and other fuels around structures using the Home Ignition Zone concept featured at NFPA.org (https://www.nfpa.org/en/education-and-research/wildfire/preparing-homes-for-wildfire).
