Schedule Your InspectionAre You Doing the Right Thing the Wrong Way?

Defensible space and home hardening are essential to improve your home's chance of surviving a wildfire. Defensible space is the buffer you create between your structure(s) and the surrounding area. This space acts as a barrier to slow or stop the spread of wildfire and helps protect your home from catching fire. Proper defensible space also provides safety for firefighters defending your home. Defensible space is the first line of defense for your home against wildfire.
