Apply for a free Wildfire Mitigation Program assessment and have our FireSmart Specialist – Whitney Cardenas complete an in-depth, on-site review of your home and property.

How to Make Your Home FireSmart

Sparks and embers can travel up to 2 km of a wildfire, igniting materials on or near your home. This can lead to serious damage, but many risks are preventable. The FireSmart guidelines below will help you create defensible space around your property and reduce the likelihood of a wildfire impacting your home.
