Marin Wildfire provides funding and staff for Defensible Space and Home Hardening Evaluation programs across our 17 member agency jurisdictions.
Inspectors from Marin Wildfire and local fire department will inspect residential properties to evaluate whether they meet wildland-urban interface (WUI) defensible space, vegetation management, and construction standards. Homeowners receive a comprehensive online report that includes recommendations for improving the home’s ability to survive a wildfire. This evaluation may also determine if the property meets state and local requirements for defensible space. Some issues identified may be required by law and must be corrected.
Please visit our multi-year Progress Dashboard on the implementation of Defensible Space and Home Hardening across our jurisdiction. This program is also integrated with Chipper Days, Grant Programs, and other resources to help residents remediate issues found during the evaluation.
If you have received a Wildfire Risk Report, you can access it here. For more information on how to harden your home and create defensible space, visit the Fire Safe Marin website.
