Wildfire is an unfortunate reality here in our arid, brushy, and often forested environments. Wildfire mitigation is work done to mitigate and reduce the possibility of extensive damage to, or total loss of your property during one of our wildfire events.
Mitigation is centered around the concept of "defensible space", a space that allows firefighters a reasonable chance of saving your home, and a space that serves as a partial barrier to the spread of wildfire.
Defensible space is created in a variety of ways. Thinning of excess trees, removal of brush and smaller, fuel-ladder type vegetation, creating barriers of non-flammable or minimally flammable areas, and ensuring space around your home to maneuver -- these are among the many strategies utilized to help mitigate the dangers of wildfire to your property.
Our primary consultant, Steve Reyes has been a wildland firefighter for over two decades, and has the firsthand experience and knowledge needed to protect your home. With experience in fighting the Waldo Canyon and Black Forest fires, as well as experience fighting fires around the country, Steve knows firsthand about fire behavior, and what it takes to protect a home. While no amount of mitigation can guarantee your home will survive a wildfire, proper mitigation gives you the best chance, and is a requirement of most homeowner's insurance policies in high-risk areas in the urban-wildland interface area here on the Front Range.
