Fire Protection Planning
Our fire protection planners, foresters, modelers and fire safety professionals are experts in natural landscape fire ecology throughout California. We understand the state’s arcane fire codes and the relationship between wildland fuels and the necessary ignition resistance for structures built in the wildland urban interface.We have completed hundreds of fire protection plans statewide. Our experts understand complex site constraints that can challenge successful fuel modification, secondary access, fire flow, and the many other fire protection features available today. We regularly work with fire authorities to consider alternative methods and materials to facilitate project approvals.
