Wildfire Defense

  • Stay ahead of danger and help protect your home from wildfire.

Your homeowners insurance policy includes wildfire defense services; Chubb can help protect your family, home and property with proven wildfire management techniques that have saved our policyholders millions in property damage — and can help you minimize threats in the event of a wildfire.

Service Highlights

Chubb has partnered with Wildfire Defense Systems, Inc. (WDS), a leading wildfire management organization, to bring you valuable protection for your house before, during, and after a wildfire. WDS is supervised by wildfire professionals with up to 35 years of experience.

In select areas, Chubb can provide wildfire  protection for your property with complimentary wildfire defense services, including:

  • Before wildfire season: Onsite wildfire hazard assessment to recommend ways to improve the chances of your home surviving (available upon request).
  • As your home is threatened: Working with you to take preventative actions to defend your home. If a wildfire is threatening your area, we may deploy certified fire professionals to your home.
  • After the threat has passed: Return combustible material and other items that may have temporarily relocated, as well as removing any fire-blocking gel that may have been applied home. During this time, WDS would be available to answer any questions you may have around our response.  And, of course, we can help you process a claim if you home sustained any damage.
