Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know
How can I make my home more resistant to wildfire?
Start with simple steps like clearing vegetation within five feet of your home, keeping gutters free of debris, and sealing gaps where embers could enter. From there, consider upgrades such as ember-resistant vents, fire-rated roofing, and non-combustible siding.
What is defensible space, and why is it important?
Defensible space is the buffer zone you create by clearing or reducing flammable vegetation around your home. This space slows the spread of wildfire and gives firefighters a safer area to defend your property.
Do wildfire home upgrades really make a difference?
Yes. Studies from IBHS and FEMA show that homes with proper hardening measures, like ember-resistant vents and fire-resistant roofing, are far more likely to survive a wildfire than homes without these improvements.
When is the best time to prepare for wildfire season?
Preparation should happen year-round. Clearing vegetation in winter and spring ensures your home is ready before the peak wildfire months, while routine maintenance in fall keeps your property safe heading into the next season.
What resources are available to help me get started?
Homeowners can use checklists from IBHS, FEMA, and other organizations to identify vulnerabilities and plan upgrades. You can download these free printable resources directly from our site.
Do I need a professional contractor for wildfire home hardening?
While some tasks like cleaning gutters or basic landscaping—can be done yourself, critical upgrades such as vent replacement, siding installation, and roof work should be handled by a licensed contractor to ensure safety and compliance.
