Wildfire Protection Unit
Wildfires are inevitable. Wildfire damage is not.

AIG Private Client Group’s Wildfire Protection Unit® is the first-ever personal wildfire protection program. Unlike the actions of a fire department, we aim to pre-empt damage before wildfires have even developed.

Please note: the Wildfire Protection Unit is a complimentary service for AIG Private Client Group policyholders in select areas within the western U.S.

How It Works Back To Top

In partnership with Firebreak Rapid Response LLC - one of the country’s leading wildfire mitigation services - the Wildfire Protection Unit brings the latest fire mitigation technology to your home. Its services include:

At-home consultation.
Our wildfire mitigation specialists will visit your property (by appointment only), identify any areas of wildfire exposure and advise you on the best course of action to safeguard your home.

Early application of fire retardant.
The Wildfire Protection Unit uses Phos-Chek®, the same fire retardant as the United States Forest Service. It is environmentally friendly, dries clearly and washes off with a hose or heavy rain.

If needed, we will spray dry brush around the perimeter of your property with Phos-Chek, providing targeted protection for the duration of wildfire season. 
 
Emergency response during an active fire.
If a wildfire comes within three miles of your property, we will automatically dispatch the Wildfire Protection Unit trucks. Access permitting, our specialists will spray fire retardant on all brush, outbuildings and other combustible parts of the home, including landscaping.

Wildfire Facts Back To Top

The western U.S. has been experiencing record wildfire losses. In the last few years alone, hundreds of thousands of acres of land — as well as thousands of homes — literally went up in smoke.

Unfortunately, this trend is not expected to change. As developers build deeper into brush and forest areas, heavy winter rainfall continues to yield robust brush growth — providing plenty of fuel for ravenous wildfires.

 
Reducing your home’s vulnerability.
All homeowners can take steps to reduce the risk of wildfire damage.

Static methods typically incorporate design and materials proven to reduce the likelihood of wildfire taking hold. They include:

  • Non-combustible construction materials
  • Regular brush-clearing procedures
  • Non-combustible plantings in landscaping 

Dynamic methods are used to actively fight or suppress an active wildfire. They include:

  • Permanently installed exterior wildfire suppression systems
  • Response of local fire departments
