Wildfire Risk Evaluation Program
About the Program
Marin Wildfire’s Home Evaluation Program helps residents understand how to reduce wildfire risk around their homes. Uniformed inspectors review defensible space, vegetation, and visible home-hardening conditions. This evaluation is free of charge.
Afterward completing the evaluation, residents receive a personalized Wildfire Risk Report with property-specific findings and recommended actions.
To view your report, visit the Wildfire Risk Home Evaluation Program webpage and enter the unique code from the door hanger left at your property. If you do not know your code, you can request help through the website.
What to Expect During the Evaluation
With permission, the evaluation usually takes about 15 minutes. Residents are encouraged to be present during the evaluation and to walk with the inspector, ask questions, and learn which actions can make the biggest difference. Local fire department home evaluations sometimes differ, but in all cases, the goal is to assess wildfire vulnerabilities on each property and provide a fire fuel reduction and home hardening plan.
If you are unable to be present at the evaluation, please fill out a right-of-way form for the inspector.
Your Wildfire Risk Report
The evaluation programs take an educational approach to working with homeowners. Your report identifies required and recommended improvements, including a property map and photos showing where issues were observed. The report is fully personalized to your unique property and provides a prioritized list to help you understand what to fix, where to start, and how to make your home safer.
