Wildfire: an uncontrolled fire of natural, accidental or criminal origin, which spreads over a natural or agricultural area covered by combustible vegetation, and which may spread to developed/suburban areas.

 

What is a Wildfire Survey?​

A wildfire survey is an ancillary inspection of a property designed to provide the client with a written report identifying property features/conditions that influence the ability of a property and its occupants to survive a wildfire.

What are the Benefits of a Wildfire Survey?

1. Improving the survivability of the home and its occupants in the event of a wildfire by:

   1. Educating clients about methods for protecting themselves, their pets, and their home;

   2. Identifying areas and items where improvements can be made to maximize home survivability;

2. Providing a local fire department with a positive wildfire survey report may encourage the assignment of fire teams to protect a home during a wildfire (during triage);

3. A positive wildfire inspection report may help reduce the cost of homeowner's fire insurance premiums.

Because property conditions can change over time and it's important that wildfire fire-related information remain up-to-date, these surveys should be performed annually.
