2026 has been one of the most active wildfire seasons on record. And today, estate managers across the nation need to understand how to protect homes from wildfires — not just those in states where wildfires have been prevalent in the past.

The team at Property Guardian uses data to get ahead of risk, and in this episode of the Easemakers Podcast, they share their tips for private service professionals caring for homes in wildfire zones — as well as what everyone should know about wildfire, whether you live in a region that’s prone to them or not.

  • Stories from Paul’s career as a firefighter, including examples of wildfire damage that could’ve been avoided with the right protections in place
