About the assessment

A Wildfire Mitigation Program Assessment provides residents with:

  • An in-depth, on-site assessment conducted by experienced fire professionals.
  • An opportunity for property owners to identify mitigation actions unique to their property.
  • A detailed follow-up report with customized mitigation actions designed to measurably reduce the wildfire risk to your property.
  • An opportunity to earn FireSmart acknowledgement for your mitigation achievements through a certificate. The certificate is given upon successful completion of required mitigation actions and an on-site follow-up inspection.
  • A mitigation certification that can be shared with participating insurance providers to showcase mitigation activities and may be eligible for insurance incentives or discounts. Please note: FireSmart does not share the assessment or any details of the assessment with the insurance industry.
  • FireSmart Home signage for their property (upon successful completion of required mitigation actions and an on-site follow-up inspection).
