If your property* is threatened by an active wildfire, a third-party service provider† may deploy loss prevention and suppression services to decrease the likelihood of damage or loss due to wildfire. This may include but is not limited to:
Removing materials from around your property that may fuel a fire, including firewood, propane tanks, furniture, grass clippings, etc.
Covering exterior vents and closing exterior doors, windows and garage doors to prevent embers from entering the home and igniting the interior. This is important because most structure loss comes from ember, or spark, lighting flammable material near a property.
Setting up temporary sprinkler systems to increase humidity and lower temperature.
Preventing wildfire from reaching properties by strategically digging a handline or placing retardants to create fuel breaks.
In rare situations, a fire-blocking gel or fire-retardant may be applied to your home and surrounding landscaping where permitted.
Once the threat of wildfire is gone, our service provider will make every effort to return to your property to place items back in their original location and remove any tape, fire-blocking gel or fire-retardant barrier that was applied to the house.
Please note that our service provider is
not
a first responder service and is supplemental to all other public wildfire responders.
They will work with local authorities in your area to safely access your property, however as wildfires are unpredictable
there is no guarantee that your home will be serviced in the event it is threatened by an active wildfire.
