Wildfire Disclosure Report and Onsite Inspection
FortressFire empowers REALTORS® and their clients with two solutions to understand and address wildfire risk.
The Wildfire Disclosure Report (WFDR) uses satellite imagery, AI, and advanced physics models to identify property-specific vulnerabilities and provide mitigation steps to protect the home, aligned with AB 38 regulations. It delivers a precise view of the property and the wildfire hazard, along with insights for how to comply with wildfire statutes and how to protect the home.
Go beyond hazard classification to a Vulnerability Score that predicts how a structure would ignite in a wildfire:
The FortressFire Onsite Inspection extends the aerial risk assessment of the WFDR to define a property’s characteristics and condition as they relate to wildfire vulnerability, regulatory compliance, and insurance standards. The property’s condition is evaluated against IBHS standards to present objective documentation of the property’s condition. We also recommend and provide pricing quotes for specific mitigation actions necessary to meet those standards.
Get the objective data, documentation, and insights needed to protect and insure properties:
Clear a Path to a Safer, More Insurable Home
Armed with either a WFDR or an Onsite Inspection, real estate professionals and their clients can make well-informed decisions regarding property transactions, compliance with wildfire regulations, and securing insurance coverage.
