Wildfire Risk & Home Hardening Assessments for Nevada County Homes

Wildfire season is no longer a distant threat—it's a yearly reality in Nevada County and across the Sierra foothills. Golden State Fire Safe offers on-site wildfire risk assessments designed to help you protect your home, your family, and your future.

We provide detailed evaluations, emergency preparedness plans, and actionable home hardening recommendations tailored to your property. You'll receive a custom report with prioritized upgrades, estimated costs, and resources—so you can plan improvements or shop for local contractors with confidence.

Best of all? Many recommended upgrades may qualify for state or local rebate programs.

Whether you’re looking for peace of mind or preparing for insurance renewals, our assessments help you take smart, proactive steps before the next fire season arrives.

About Us

Golden State Fire Safe was founded with a deep love for California and a personal connection to wildfire risk. As a homeowner living in Nevada County’s Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI), I’ve seen firsthand how climate change, rising insurance premiums, and the threat of wildfire are reshaping life in our communities.

With a background in both the insurance industry and emergency management services, I created Golden State Fire Safe to help bridge the gap between public safety recommendations and what’s actually happening at the home level. Our wildfire home assessments, emergency preparedness planning, and insurance documentation services are all built on trusted guidance from Cal Fire, local Fire Safe Councils, and industry best practices.

My mission is simple: to help you harden your home, prepare your family, and gain peace of mind before fire season arrives.

Whether you’re a long-time foothill resident or a new homeowner navigating WUI living for the first time, I’m here to help you feel more confident, informed, and protected.
