Most homes lost to wildfire aren’t hit by a wall of flame. They’re lit by tiny embers finding tiny gaps. EmbrD helps you find those gaps and close them, one doable step at a time.
Why now
California just adopted its Zone 0 rules for the five feet around your house, and insurers are rewarding homes that are hardened against embers (and dropping homes that aren’t).
The good news: some of the most powerful fixes are also the cheapest. A $20 vent screen. Moving the firewood. Swapping bark mulch for gravel. Your weekend just got a mission.
nearly double the odds of surviving a wildfire when the first 5 feet are managed
the vent mesh size that keeps most embers out
of non-burnable wall base where embers like to pile up
to see where your home stands

A contractor referral, a free call, an on-site visit, or a deeper do-it-yourself assessment.
