Program details

How it works

The Yolo County Fire Safe Council’s programs page lists Defensible Space Assessments as one of its offerings. The assessment is described as non-regulatory, non-judgmental, and educational, with the goal of assessing a home’s vulnerability to wildfire and embers.

What the service covers

The official page does not provide a detailed checklist of every item reviewed, but it clearly frames the assessment around defensible space and ember vulnerability around the home.

Cost

The programs page says the county Fire Safe Council’s programs are offered free of cost to residents living in the high fire areas of the county.

How to apply

The page provides a link to learn more about assessments, but it does not state any additional requirements on the overview page.

Important note

This is an assessment and education service rather than a cash grant or rebate.
