Home Hardening from wildfire is actually pretty basic. wildfireRX designs and implements solutions to significantly reduce the risk that wildfire destroys your structure, or anything near your structure. Our methodology for prioritizing actions around your house is based on experience, fire science, and probability of risk.

When we think about this, we "think like an ember"  to stay focused on the vulnerabilities of a structure so we can address those vulnerabilities.

​

Embers are the most common cause of structure fire from wildfire, so protecting structures from embers is priority. Protecting from radiant heat is also important but the protection from this tends to lie more in the building materials of your structure as well as thoughtful thinning and pruning of the surrounding vegetation (within 30', and 100' of the structure).

​

We methodically review the whole structure and surrounding 100' to provide a list of vulnerabilities and actions to eliminate and manage those vulnerabilities, and an estimated cost for us to implement the solution.

Our priority is on the structure itself and the 5' perimeter around it. We ensure that there is virtually nothing combustible within the 5' perimeter of the structure.

Secondarily, we address the highest risk combustibles (fencing, debris, trees/branches, brush etc) within 30', and 100' of the structure.  This area is what wildfireRx' parent company Metau Resilient Forests specializes in.

Please note: We take your desires into consideration with regards to how strictly we adhere to the specifications shown in the diagram on this page. For instance, if you have trees or brush that you like/love that technically should be removed per Firewise specifications, we'll discuss that, and the risk/reward tradeoff decision of keeping them, will be yours.
