Every Altadena property faces unique wildfire conditions. Here’s why local homeowners trust Ember Pro for wildfire defense.
Mandatory Home Hardening
All new construction in Altadena’s fire hazard zones must meet AB 3074 requirements: ember-resistant vents, fire-rated roofing, enclosed eaves, tempered glass, and non-combustible exterior materials.
Insurance Crisis
Many Altadena homeowners lost insurance coverage entirely after the Eaton Fire. Rebuilding with documented wildfire mitigation — including certified defense systems — may be required to obtain new policies.
Angeles National Forest Exposure
Altadena backs directly into the Angeles National Forest. The same conditions that produced the Eaton Fire — steep terrain, dense brush, Santa Ana winds — haven’t changed.

Wildfire Mitigation Your Insurance Requires
California insurers are dropping coverage for unprotected homes. Here’s what Altadena homeowners need to know.
AB 3074 Home Hardening
California now requires homes in fire hazard zones to meet defensible space and home hardening standards. Ember-resistant vents, fire-rated roofing, enclosed eaves, and Zone 0 compliance are mandatory for new construction and major remodels.
Insurance Carrier Requirements
Many California carriers now require documented wildfire mitigation for policy renewal. Ember Pro provides assessment reports and system certifications that carriers recognize — helping you maintain coverage and potentially reduce premiums.
FAIR Plan Alternative
Without mitigation, you may be limited to California’s FAIR Plan — the insurer of last resort with limited coverage and higher costs. Documented wildfire defense can help you qualify for traditional policies instead.
Defensible Space Compliance
Zone 0 (0-5ft ember-resistant), Zone 1 (5-30ft lean/clean/green), and Zone 2 (30-100ft reduced fuel). Ember Pro’s assessment identifies exactly where your property stands and provides a prioritized action plan.
Our Wildfire Defense Process
From assessment to activation, we handle every step so you don’t have to.
Free Vulnerability Assessment
We start with a satellite review of your Altadena property, followed by an on-site 10-point inspection. We evaluate roofing, vents, eaves, siding, decking, landscaping, and defensible space compliance — then provide a written mitigation plan.
Custom Protection Plan
Based on your assessment, we recommend the right level of protection for your property — from home hardening recommendations to full defense system installation. No one-size-fits-all. Your plan matches your specific fire risk and budget.
Fire Retardant Spray Application
Seasonal application of 100% non-toxic fire-inhibiting agents to your home’s exterior. Same toxicity rating as milk — safe for your family, pets, and landscaping. Lasts 3-6 months per application. Boosts protection to 80-85%.
Defense System Installation
Off-grid, remotely activated wildfire sprinkler system with copper piping and 100% head overlap. Sprinkler heads extend up to 30 feet from walls. Activates even when you evacuate — providing 95%+ wildfire protection.
Annual Maintenance & Monitoring
Yearly inspection and testing to ensure your system activates reliably when you need it. We check all components, verify remote activation, and confirm your property maintains defensible space compliance.
