Three things that protect your home.

Most fire damage comes down to three vulnerabilities. Fix them, and you dramatically change the odds for your family.

Your Roof

A Class A fire-rated roof is the single most impactful upgrade. Wood shake is the #1 reason homes ignite.

Your Vents

Embers enter through unscreened vents in minutes. 1/8" mesh screening is a weekend fix that changes everything.

Your Defensible Space

The first five feet around your home — Zone 0 — is the new line of defense. Clearing it is free and starts today.
