A Wildfire Risk Assessor is someone with the training and knowledge to identify wildfire risk areas on your land, home, and/or community in the event of a wildfire. These include things like tree limbs over your roof, combustible fences attached to your home, and overgrown dry shrubs too close to your home. Many assessors have been certified through the National Fire Protection Association’s Certified Wildfire Mitigation Specialist program, similar programs, or are retired firefighters. They also may adhere to the Institute for Business and Home Safety Institute’s Wildfire Prepared Home guidelines. These practitioners’ main purpose is to offer a written report prioritizing and recommending work to make your home or community fire safe and fire ready.

We list two types of Assessors in the directory. Wildfire Risk Assessors Only provide an assessment report as a roadmap for you to follow and implement, either with or without outside service providers. It may include DIY activities for low-cost solutions or the need for professional services which you can find in the directory. Wildfire Risk Assessors + Product/Service Solutions provide an assessment report as well as specific products and/or services they offer.
