Home Hardening
Wildfire resilience starts with the structure itself. Even well-maintained defensible space cannot fully protect a home if vulnerable building components allow ember intrusion.
Zone Zero in San Diego is a mandatory 5-foot ember-resistant defensible space required around homes to mitigate wildfire risk, stemming from California AB 3074. Residents in high fire severity zones must comply by February 2027 by removing flammable materials, such as brush and mulch, from this immediate perimeter. Source: City of San Diego, Inside San Diego

Ember-Resistant Vent Installation
One of the Most Important Wildfire Protection Upgrades
During a wildfire, homes are rarely lost because flames directly touch the structure. In many cases, wind-driven embers travel miles ahead of the fire and enter homes through attic and crawlspace vents. Once inside, these embers can ignite insulation, wood framing, and stored materials—starting a fire from the inside out.
Installing ember-resistant vents is one of the most effective and affordable ways to protect a home in wildfire-prone areas.
