PROFESSIONAL WILDFIRE RISK ASSESSMENT & MITIGATION
Understand Your
Wildfire Risk. Take Control.
Every property has unique vulnerabilities. Intermountain Wildfire Defense helps homeowners understand wildfire exposure, prioritize meaningful improvements, and develop a coordinated protection strategy based on their property—not a one-size-fits-all solution.
The Four Principal Risks
01
Embers
Carried far ahead of a fire front, and responsible for most home ignitions.
02
Vegetation
Fuel load and clearance around the structure change how fire behaves on approach.
03
Structural Elements
Vents, roofing, decks, and attachments are common, often-overlooked entry points.
04
Site Conditions
Slope, access, and exposure to neighboring structures all factor into real risk.
Assessment Before Product.
At IMWFD, we believe that identifying your property’s specific vulnerabilities must happen before recommending any solution. Our evidence-informed approach ensures that every mitigation dollar is spent on priorities that meaningfully reduce risk—focusing first on the home ignition zones where preparation matters most.
01
ASSESS
Understand the property's wildfire vulnerabilities through a professional evaluation and scientific risk identification.
02
PROTECT
Develop and implement improvements involving defensible space, structural hardening, and engineered protection technologies.
03
MAINTAIN
Support ongoing wildfire readiness through appropriate maintenance, inspection, and periodic professional reassessment of conditions.
Home Hardening
Strengthen your home's first line of defense. Targeted improvements to roofs, vents, siding, decks, gutters, and other vulnerable areas help protect your home against ember intrusion and ignition.
Exterior Defense
Add an engineered layer of wildfire protection. Purpose-designed exterior sprinkler systems provide an additional active defense capability as part of a comprehensive mitigation strategy.
Defensible Space
Create a landscape designed for resilience. Strategic vegetation management, fuel reduction, and landscape planning help reduce wildfire exposure while preserving your property's natural character.
Ongoing Readiness
Protection requires more than a one-time investment. Periodic inspections, system maintenance, and evolving mitigation recommendations help keep your property prepared as conditions change.
How Homes Ignite
WIND-DRIVEN EMBERS
Microscopic firebrands that bypass perimeter defenses.
DIRECT CONTACT
Ignition from continuous fuels touching the structure.
VULNERABILITY CORE
STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY ANALYSIS
RADIANT HEAT
Thermal energy transfer through windows and cladding.
