Is your home safe from wildfires?
The majority of homes in California are not!
The increasing frequency and intensity of wildfires, fueled by changing weather patterns, have amplified the wildfire threat to unprecedented levels. A staggering 90% of homes destroyed in wildfires are lost due to wind-borne embers that can travel miles before the fire is even visible. Unfortunately, most homes remain vulnerable, unprotected from these embers. In response to the growing danger, insurance companies are raising premiums, dropping coverage, or even exiting California altogether. With wildfire risks escalating each season, it’s crucial to take proactive measures now to fortify your home against the threat of disaster.
Your partner in home hardening and fire defense
Halo Fire Solutions is your trusted partner in home hardening and wildfire defense. Home hardening is the process of strengthening your property to better withstand wildfires by implementing essential fire-prevention measures. This includes creating a defensible space around your home by trimming trees and bushes, removing combustible materials, and retrofitting key components to make them resistant to ignition from ember storms. We help ensure your home is better protected when wildfire risks are at their highest.

Establish defensible space around home site
We can assist in establishing the required defensible space around your home. New California regulations mandate a Zero Zone within 5 feet of your home, where all combustible materials must be removed. This includes vegetation, bark, grass, needles, and leaves. The Second Zone extends 10 feet from the home and covers areas such as wood fencing, gates, sheds, and overhanging tree branches. These measures are essential in reducing the risk of fire reaching your home.
Ember resistant vents and gutter guards
New code requirements call for the installation of ember-resistant vents to shield your home from ember storms, which pose a significant fire risk. Additionally, gutter guards play a crucial role in preventing potential ignitions by keeping dry leaves and needles out of gutters. Without gutter guards, these materials can accumulate and create a pathway for fires to enter through roof seams.
