Homeowners Association (HOA) & Municipality
Building Tahoe’s First Replicable Model for Community-Scale Wildfire Resilience
Client: Fire Smart Community Pilot
Location: Incline Village, NV
Launched in partnership with local fire officials, researchers, and a willing HOA, the Pilot set out to identify and implement the highest-impact mitigations across a 61-acre mountain community. By combining advanced technology with on-the-ground verification, the project is demonstrating what it takes to create a truly fire-ready neighborhood – and a model others can follow.
Risk prioritized with precision: Parcel-level fuels, structure conditions, and topography analyzed to identify the mitigations that matter most.
Mitigation underway at scale: Community-wide defensible space, vegetation management, and ignition-resistant improvements underway across hundreds of homes and common areas.
A repeatable blueprint: The Pilot is producing a replicable, exportable model for communities throughout Tahoe and the broader West – supporting safer outcomes and future alignment with insurers.
