Commercial Wildfire Protection Audit
A three-priority audit for commercial property owners, managers, and facilities directors — built around the loading docks, mechanical systems, and life-safety code that make commercial exposure different.
For property owners, managers & facilities directors
Commercial properties face ember-ignition risks that differ fundamentally from residential ones: larger footprints, combustible loading-dock areas, multiple tenants, and complex mechanical systems each add vulnerabilities. This audit addresses the highest-consequence ignition pathways and the life-safety protocols required to protect occupants.
It is organized into three priority tiers. Priority 1 is the zero-cost, immediately protective work; Priority 2 covers defensible space, fire-system compliance, and insurance readiness required for renewal in high-risk zones; Priority 3 is the structural hardening that lowers premiums and total insured exposure.
Print the PDF and work through it with your facilities team and contractors. Each item cites the code basis and reasoning. Engage your local AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) to confirm compliance timelines, and use the scorecard to track completion across every tier.
Three priority tiers
Work Priority 1 first — lowest cost, highest immediate protection — then move outward. The PDF has a checkbox for every item and a scorecard to tally your total.
