 Be Prepared - Not Scared 

You and your home's safety are important and we're here to provide you with the tools and services you need to prepare yourself and your property for the threat of wildfire – AND – to help you properly position yourself for ongoing affordable insurance options.

 

We utilize the Safer from Wildfires ideology, which is a ground-up approach to wildfire resilience with three layers of protection — for the structure, the immediate surroundings, and the community. Following these achievable steps can help you protect your property AND save money on your insurance.

Wildfire Risk Assessment

Our experienced Wildfire Mitigation Specialist will provide a personalized wildfire hazard assessment, with specific recommendations, to help protect your home in the event of a wildfire.

How it Works    

We conduct an inspection of the property (on site - or - via Zoom) to identify what your property needs to become better wildfire prepared and fire resistant.

We make recommendations for your homes hardening needs, outlining which recommendations are easiest to address and which mitigations are most needed.

We suggest affordable and DIY options that make many home hardening tasks easily obtainable – even on a budget.

We can assist with prioritizing the most pressing immediate recommendations and those that may be planned for future projects.

Protecting Your Home Against Wildfires 

We offer a variety of services, including: 

We understand that every property is unique, and we take pride in providing tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of your home and your budget.  We work closely with you to develop customized solutions that are effective, sustainable, and affordable.  Our approach is based on a comprehensive understanding of the factors contributing to wildfire - risk with the added benefit of also having decades of experience within the insurance industry.

 During a wildfire risk inspection, we will: 

  • Assess your property's surroundings: We evaluate nearby vegetation, terrain, and potential ignition sources to determine your property's susceptibility to wildfires. 
  • Identify vulnerable points:  We will identify areas that require attention, whether it's landscaping modifications, structural improvements, or other preventive measures. 
  • Customize a protection plan: Based on the inspection findings, we will create a tailored action plan best suited for your property's wildfire resilience. 

Assessing Wildfire Risk

Wildfires are unpredictable and can ignite with little warning, but understanding your level of risk is a crucial first step in protecting your home, family, and community. Wildfire risk assessment is not a one-size-fits-all process; it requires a comprehensive understanding of both environmental and structural factors.

Property Vulnerability

The resilience of your home in the face of wildfire threats depends on several key factors, including its location, design, and surrounding environment.

  • Location: Homes situated in the wildland-urban interface (WUI) are at higher risk due to proximity to dense vegetation. Areas with steep slopes or narrow canyons also face increased wildfire spread.
  • Building Materials: Structures built with non-combustible or fire-resistant materials for roofs, siding, and decks are better equipped to withstand embers and direct flames.
  • Defensible Space: Creating a defensible space by clearing flammable vegetation, debris, and other combustible materials within at least 30 feet of the home significantly reduces the risk of ignition.
  • Landscaping: Incorporating fire-resistant plants, maintaining moisture in vegetation, and spacing trees and shrubs properly can slow the spread of fire.
