Protect your home from wildfire risks with Genesee Fire Rescue.
Living in the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) means inherent exposure to a higher risk of wildfires. Historically, fire played a natural role in ecosystems, but decades of fire suppression have led to increased fuel loading and more intense wildfires. Home inspections aim to bridge this gap by promoting informed actions for fire resilient homes.
Our team offers free evaluations to help you create defensible space and strengthen your home against potential fire threats. We’ll assess your property and provide recommendations tailored to create and maintain defensible space and increase its resilience against wildfire risks, ensuring you’re better prepared in case of an emergency.Remember, these inspections are an opportunity for homeowners to proactively safeguard their properties and contribute to community-wide wildfire resilience.

DISCLAIMER: Wildfire mitigation work can reduce the risk to life and property from wildfire and can help fire personnel protect your home. However, the risk cannot be completely eliminated. Wildfire can be unpredictable and uncontrollable, and despite following all steps recommended, there is no guarantee of personal safety or protection from damage. The Defensible Space Inspection (DSI) is intended to educate and support participants in taking responsibility for reducing their risk from wildfire but makes no claim as to the ultimate effectiveness of the program or mitigation actions.
