Several members of Livermore Fire Protection District (LFPD) have completed training to become Wildfire Partner Program trained ambassadors. With this training, LFPD ambassadors are able to perform the Home Ignition Zone Assessment or HIZA, using the tools provided in the training and under the guidance of the Wildfire Partner Program.  

If you are interested in receiving a FREE home assessment please sign up at

The Wildfire Partner Program of the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office proudly partners with local fire agencies to provide free Wildfire Home Ignition Zone Assessments to homeowners. These assessments are an educational experience that will empower homeowners to take strategic action to make their homes more wildfire-resilient.

A Wildfire Home Ignition Zone Assessment includes a scheduled, one-hour property visit from a Wildfire Partner Program trained ambassador. The homeowner will have the opportunity to learn and ask questions as their ambassador evaluates both the building structures and the vegetation based on national standard best practices for reducing wildfire risk. The ambassador will produce a personalized, comprehensive report with easy to follow recommendations and photos to guide the homeowner toward prioritized actions they could take to protect their homes, and increase the potential for buildings to resist and survive a wildfire. While there are no guarantees, these assessment reports provide a roadmap of proven best practices tailored to each unique property and home.

Also included with each Home Ignition Zone Assessment are valuable wildfire preparedness resources, such as our “Before the Fire Facts Homeowner's Insurance Conversation Guide,” home inventory for Insurance guide, wildfire mitigation tax credit form, fire-resistant plants guide, and wildfire mitigation vendors for hire list.

Home Ignition Zone Assessment Reports are not shared with any insurance company, the general public, or unaffiliated 3rd party unless the homeowner chooses to share their own report. The results of the assessment are for the property owners to do with as they see fit.

These assessments will NOT be unsolicited, and homeowners who are interested in receiving a Wildfire Home Ignition Zone Assessment can use their local Wildfire Partner Program ambassador group’s registration system to schedule an assessment.
