Wildfire Risk Assessment
We walk your property and score the real wildfire risks. You get an interactive online report covering your vegetation, your home, your water access and your evacuation routes so you know exactly what to fix first.
Defensible Space Design
An interactive online plan for the 100 feet around your home, broken into three zones Cal Fire requires. Backed by ISA Certified Arborist expertise, we specify the spacing, canopy separation and layout.
Home Hardening Design
Embers get into homes through six places: your roof, vents, windows, decks, siding and gutters. We inspect each one with a specification for what needs upgrading and your contractor does the work.
Wildfire Defense Monitoring
Scheduled check-ups on your defensible space, your home hardening and your vegetation against Cal Fire standards. We document what has drifted so your contractors can fix it before fire season returns.
Wildfire Risk Consulting
Independent wildfire consulting for arborists, landscape architects, real estate agents, insurance brokers, mortgage lenders, and attorneys working on high-risk California properties.
Community Education
Talks and training for HOA board meetings, Fire Safe Councils, schools and community events. If your group wants someone to explain wildfire preparedness clearly, Kevin will come speak across Napa, Solano and Contra Costa.

FAQ
Wildfire Defense Services FAQ
What wildfire defense services does Red Lion offer?
Red Lion Wildfire Defense offers six core services across Napa, Solano, and Contra Costa counties: wildfire risk assessments, defensible space design, home hardening, wildfire defense maintenance, community wildfire education, and wildfire risk consulting. Specialist assessments are available for residential, commercial, estate, vineyard, winery, and HOA properties.
Which wildfire defense service should I start with?
Most property owners should start with a wildfire risk assessment. The assessment identifies your property’s specific ember pathways, vegetation risks, and structural vulnerabilities, then ranks them by priority, so every dollar spent on defensible space or home hardening goes where it reduces the most risk.
How long does a wildfire risk assessment take?
A typical wildfire risk assessment takes 2 to 4 hours on site, depending on property size and terrain. The written report, with annotated site maps, photo documentation, and prioritized recommendations, is usually delivered within 10 business days of the site visit.
How much do wildfire defense services cost?
Wildfire defense costs depend on property size, terrain, vegetation density, and the services needed. Red Lion starts every project with a free consultation call, then provides a written quote scoped to your property, so you know the cost before any work begins.
Which areas does Red Lion Wildfire Defense serve?
Red Lion Wildfire Defense serves Napa, Solano, and Contra Costa counties in Northern California, including wine country estates, hillside homes, valley floor properties, commercial sites, and rural acreage across the North Bay and East Bay.
Does Red Lion work with businesses and professionals as well as homeowners?
Yes. Alongside homeowners, Red Lion works with commercial property owners, vineyards, wineries, and HOA boards, and provides wildfire risk consulting for arborists, landscape architects, contractors, attorneys, and insurance professionals who need specialist guidance on high-risk California properties.
