Orange County Wildfire Home Assessment
FreeHome hardening · Free, from Orange County Fire Authority
A fire prevention specialist from the fire authority visits the property on request and suggests landscaping and exterior construction changes that make the home more resistant to wildfire.
One thing this is not: the defensible space disclosure inspection wanted for a property sale, which the request page sends you elsewhere for. The form asks for your phone number, email and street address, and you have to tick that you are the current owner and that the property sits within Orange County Fire Authority jurisdiction. Where this comes from
Who qualifies Property owners inside the fire authority's jurisdiction, who must certify they are the current owner. Eleven Orange County cities have their own fire departments and sit outside that jurisdiction; the request page lists them and gives each city's number.
How to apply Complete the home assessment request form on the fire authority's ready set go pages.
