Why Strike First

Fire season isn’t a season anymore.

Fire behavior has changed in the last decade, both in predictability and severity. Year-round volatility in wildland-urban interface (WUI) areas has created risks for property owners, as well as a shortage of experts who actually understand modern fire behavior well enough to address them.

Insurance

High-value assets are increasingly uninsurable, under-insured, or facing premiums high enough that owners need to “self-insure” by investing directly in preparedness.

Reconstruction Delays

Even with the capital to rebuild, environmental review and competition for contractors and materials stretch timelines well past what owners expect.

Access to Experts

There aren’t enough professionals who understand modern fire behavior well enough to give comprehensive, defensible guidance. We fill that gap.

What We Do

Four services, one continuous plan.

Each engagement moves from understanding risk to closing the gaps, and staying closed.

Site Assessments

Strategic, comprehensive assessments for property owners who value preparedness and preparation.

Site Prep

For ground-up builds and major renovations, preparedness starts at the drawing board.

Implementation Consulting

Recommendations only matter if they get built correctly. We stay on through execution.

Ongoing Maintenance

Fire preparedness isn't a one-time investment: vegetation grows back and conditions change. We help you keep up.
