Schedule Your Defensible Space Assessment

Protect your home and property by creating a defensible space that reduces wildfire risk and increases safety for your community. At HDEAA.org, we’re committed to helping you safeguard your property by offering free Defensible Space Assessments, conducted by certified professionals. Our trained wildfire safety assessors, certified through the Wildland Fire Assessment Program (WFAP) by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and the National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC), will evaluate your property and provide expert recommendations—without sharing your data.

Why get an assessment?

  • Protect Your Home, Neighbors, and Community

    Creating defensible space doesn’t just protect your property—it safeguards your entire neighborhood. Help reduce the spread of wildfires in your community and contribute to collective safety efforts.

  • No-Cost, Confidential Service

    The best part? Our assessments are completely free, with no hidden fees. We also prioritize your privacy—your information stays with us and is not shared with third parties.

  • Certified Expertise You Can Trust

    Our assessors are certified through the Wildland Fire Assessment Program, ensuring you receive guidance backed by the expertise of the U.S. Forest Service and National Volunteer Fire Council. We provide actionable, professional recommendations that can significantly improve your property’s safety.

  • Avoid County Abatement Fees & Penalties

    Our Defensible Space Assessments offer you an educational opportunity to stay ahead of county inspections and avoid potential abatement notices, fees, or penalties. Staying proactive helps you maintain compliance with local fire safety regulations.

  • Potential Insurance Discounts

    Some insurance companies offer premium discounts for properties that maintain a defensible space and comply with wildfire safety standards. Scheduling an assessment could help you qualify for these potential savings.

  • Identify Hidden Deficiencies

    Our assessments will reveal any fire safety vulnerabilities on your property that may not be obvious. Knowing these deficiencies allows you to address them before they become bigger problems.
