We restore wildfire damage in San Bernardino County.

Our local Hesperia/Apple Valley and Barstow/Twentynine Palms, Victorville teams respond to fire damage calls 24/7. Here are some things residents can do to minimize the risk of wildfire damage to their homes:

1. Create Defensible Space: Clear vegetation and combustible materials within at least 100 feet of your home. Trim trees and shrubs and remove dead plants and leaves.
2. Use Fire-Resistant Landscaping: Plant fire-resistant shrubs and trees, such as agave and maple, and use gravel or stone for ground cover instead of mulch.
3. Home Hardening: Upgrade your home with fire-resistant materials. Install a Class A fire-rated roof, use ember-resistant vents, and choose double-paned or tempered glass windows. Ensure eaves and soffits are enclosed to prevent embers from entering.
4. Maintain Your Property: Regularly clean gutters, roofs, and yards to remove dry leaves, pine needles, and other flammable debris.
5. Install Firebreaks: To slow down the spread of fire, create firebreaks with non-combustible materials like gravel paths or stone walls.
6. Prepare Emergency Water Sources: Ensure accessible water sources, such as pools, ponds, or a well-maintained hose, for firefighting purposes.
7. Create an Emergency Plan: Develop a family evacuation plan and prepare emergency kits. Stay informed about local fire conditions through alerts and community resources.

By taking these steps, Apple Valley residents can significantly reduce the risk of wildfire damage to their homes.
