Protecting homes and other structures from wildland fire
During Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) fire threats Firestorm’s Structure Protection crews work to protect homes, businesses, farms, and other structures from fire. These specialized crews are trained and certified to the National Fire Protection Association 1001 (NFPA) standards or S115 (Urban Interface) as well as Wildfire certified.
Our Structure Protection Specialists develop Structure Protection plans that provide operational guidelines to crews.
