First Step Fire Protection
Wildfire mitigation services for homes, infrastructure, and communities — planned, executed, and documented.
What We Do
First Step Fire Protection specializes in the application of long-term wildfire retardants using the same active ingredients trusted by the U.S. Forest Service. Our work focuses on targeted, high-impact treatments that slow fire spread, reduce ignition potential, and buy critical time during wildfire events.
Residential Perimeter Protection
Application of long-term fire retardants around homes and structures to create defensible perimeters designed to resist ember intrusion and surface fire spread throughout fire season.
Critical Infrastructure Protection
Targeted retardant treatments around communication towers, substations, pump stations, and other essential assets where continuity of operation is critical during wildfire events.
Roadway/Evacuation Protection
Strategic application of long-term retardants along roadways and evacuation routes to reduce roadside ignition risk and improve safety for evacuation and emergency response.
How It Works
First Step Fire Protection delivers wildfire mitigation through a clear, repeatable process designed to reduce risk, support decision-making, and create defensible records of work performed.
1. Assess
We evaluate site-specific wildfire exposure based on asset type, surrounding fuels, access, and operational priorities. Assessments are tailored to homes, infrastructure, and evacuation corridors rather than one-size-fits-all treatments.
2. Mitigate
Long-term fire retardants are applied strategically using products with the same active ingredients trusted by the U.S. Forest Service, adapted for residential and infrastructure protection throughout fire season.
3. Document
Every long term retardant treatment is mapped, time-stamped, and documented using First Fire Map, creating a clear visual record of mitigation efforts that can be reviewed by property owners, agencies, and partners.
Built for Accountability. Designed for Defensible Records.
Wildfire mitigation only matters if it can be verified, reviewed, and maintained over time. First Step Fire Protection documents every treatment spatially and operationally, creating clear records of what was done, where it was done, and when it was performed.
Our work is supported by First Fire Map, a wildfire mitigation mapping and documentation platform designed to provide visibility for property owners, agencies, insurers, and decision-makers. Treatments are mapped to real-world assets and locations, creating a living record that supports planning, reporting, and accountability. (See Below)
