Program details

How it works

Orange County Fire Authority offers a wildfire home assessment that homeowners can use to identify vulnerabilities around the home and get recommendations for reducing wildfire risk. OCFA says the assessment looks at critical factors such as vegetation, building materials, and defensible space, and provides personalized advice ranging from landscaping changes to structural modifications.

What the service covers

The page describes this as a free home assessment and says homeowners can also use OCFA’s online Home Assessment tool. It is meant to help residents understand their wildfire risk and make informed changes to their property.

How to apply

Homeowners can begin with the online Home Assessment tool or request help by phone/email. OCFA also says residents can request an in-person home assessment with an OCFA fire prevention specialist.

Timing and deadlines

The official page does not state an end date, application deadline, or whether the service is limited by funding. It appears to be an ongoing public service.

Other notes

The assessment is framed as a prevention and education service rather than a cash grant or reimbursement program.
