The property has been thoughtfully prepared with multiple layers of wildfire protection and emergency-response capability: • Extensive irrigation coverage: More than 300 sprinklers are distributed throughout the property, providing broad water coverage around the home, orchard, landscaping, and other improved areas. • Reliable irrigation-water supply: The property is located approximately 80 yards from the irrigation canal. Water is supplied through a 3-inch pipe that connects to the property’s 2-inch irrigation system. • 3,000-gallon water tank: A dedicated pre-tank pump can refill the 3,000gallon cistern rapidly, while two additional pumps manage water delivery throughout the property. • Fire-retardant capability: Fire retardant can be introduced into the 3,000-gallon tank, following the product’s instructions. The sprinkler system could then be used to coat vulnerable areas before leaving the property. • Strategically placed fire hoses: Three fire-hose stations with 1.5-inch hoses are positioned throughout the property, allowing multiple areas to be reached quickly. • Extensive hose-bib access: Numerous hose bibs are installed throughout the property, providing convenient access to water in multiple locations for irrigation and additional fire-response support. • 22-kW backup generator: The property is equipped with a 22-kW propane-powered Generac generator. The irrigation and pumping systems are integrated with the generator, allowing the water-delivery and fire-protection systems to continue operating if utility power is lost. • FireWise vegetation management: We worked with RedTail to thin the forest and remove brush, dead material, and other potential fuels surrounding the fenced six-acre portion of the property. This created additional defensible space and reduced the likelihood of fire moving through dense vegetation toward the home.
• Fire-resistant home construction: The home’s brick exterior provides another layer of protection compared with more combustible exterior materials. • Additional on-site water source: The property also has a pond that could serve as another available water source during an emergency. • Potential secondary emergency exit: Our neighbor, Matt Swihart, has been completely open to allowing an additional emergency exit through his property if desired. Any permanent access arrangement would need to be discussed with Matt and formally documented by the appropriate parties. • Private wildfire-response coverage: The property is currently insured through Chubb, and our policy includes access to Chubb’s private wildfireresponse service, which can dispatch personnel directly to the property when a wildfire threatens. A buyer would need to confirm the availability of comparable protection through their own insurance policy. • Fire-protection equipment included with the sale: The owners will include the on-site fire retardant, rotary sprinkler, and fire hoses with the sale of the property so these resources remain available to the new owners.
Together, the irrigation network, large-capacity water storage, backup power, fire hoses, extensive hose-bib access, vegetation management, brick construction, potential secondary evacuation route, and multiple water sources provide a comprehensive, layered approach to protecting the property from wildfire.
