Wildfire Readiness Report
One of 3 readiness reports prepared for this property (wildfire, flood, earthquake).
Strong bones, a few high-impact fixes: your Class A roof and cleared mid-zone put you ahead; the near-house zone and vents are the gaps.
CAL FIRE Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone · FEMA National Risk Index: high
Immediate concernCombustible materials within 5 feet of the house are the fastest path for embers to ignite the structure.
Wildfire hazard grade
Public dataResponse and history
Public data- Wood mulch and a wood fence meet the house — embers land here first.
- Replace bark mulch with gravel or stone in the 0-5 ft zone.
- Add a metal gate or non-combustible gap where the fence meets the wall.
- Single narrow access road — keep 10 ft clearance and a turnaround for fire engines.
- Pool can serve as a water source — mark it so responders can find it.
Removing combustibles in Zone 0 is the highest-impact, lowest-cost step against ember ignition.
Vents are one of the most common ways embers get inside a home.
Dry needles in gutters catch embers on the roofline.
Fire crews will not commit to a property they cannot safely reach and leave.
Strengths
Class A roof · 30-100 ft zone well cleared · pool available as a water source.
