Your property’s fire risk — understood, documented, and addressed.
Cal Wildfire Defense provides fire-informed assessments, defensible space, vegetation management, and home hardening serving San Diego County and surrounding inland, mountain, and desert communities. Every service is built around how fire actually behaves — not a generic checklist.
Serving San Diego County and backcountry. Same-day and next-day appointments available.
Defensible space is not a landscaping problem. It is a fire behavior problem.
The difference between cleared land and genuinely defensible land is understanding how fire approaches your specific property — where it accelerates, where embers land, what it finds when it arrives at your structure. That understanding comes from fire science, not a checklist. It is what every CWD service is built around.
What You Get From a Property Wildfire Risk Walk
A Property Fire Risk Walk is a, non-regulatory wildfire risk assessment for San Diego homeowners. We walk your property with you and translate inspection language, defensible space rules, and real fire behavior into a clear picture of what matters on your specific parcel.
Inspection Clarity
Understand where you may pass or fail a CAL FIRE inspection. We review your property against LE200 expectations so you know what an inspector is likely to flag — before they show up.
Fire Behavior Context
See how a wildfire would actually approach your home. We look at slope, prevailing wind, fuel continuity, and surrounding land so the risk picture matches reality, not just a checklist.
Clear Next Steps
Walk away knowing what needs to be fixed, what does not, and what you can handle yourself. If professional mitigation is needed, CWD can quote the work and often start the same day or next day.
Nine services. Three categories.
From first assessment to ongoing maintenance — every CWD service is scoped against your property’s actual fire risk.
Assessment
In-person evaluations that tell you exactly where your property stands. Where most customers start.
Planning
Formal documentation for insurance, CAL FIRE, and real estate. Every planning service includes a property walk.
