Wildfire Preparedness & Local Fire Safety
Start by implementing a wildfire preparedness plan. This includes:
- Clearing vegetation and combustible materials around the property
- Installing fire-resistant roofing and siding
- Setting up commercial fire suppression systems
- Training employees on evacuation protocols
Mike Green Fire provides full-site wildfire risk assessments and fire prevention solutions for businesses across LA.
Even without direct fire damage, smoke from nearby wildfires can lead to:
- Poor indoor air quality
- Respiratory issues for employees
- Temporary business shutdowns
We recommend installing HEPA air purifiers and sealing HVAC systems. Mike Green Fire also offers smoke mitigation consulting for commercial properties.
This is where urban development meet natural landscapes – common in areas like Malibu, Topanga Canyon, and the Santa Monica Mountains. Businesses in these zones face higher wildfire exposure and require specialized fire protection strategies.
A business emergency kit should contain:
- First aid supplies
- N95 or P100 masks (for wildfire smoke)
- Bottled water
- Flashlights and batteries
- Portable phone chargers
- Backup copies of critical business documents
- A business continuity and communication plan
Wildfire season in Los Angeles typically runs from May through November, peaking during late summer and early fall when dry winds and heat create high fire danger.
Mike Green Fire helps businesses prepare early with risk assessments, defensible space planning.
