Ground-based observational assessments focused on potential ember-related ignition vulnerabilities for homes and properties across Colorado.
Colorado Ember provides ground-based observational assessments focused on potential ember-related ignition vulnerabilities for homes and properties across Colorado. We evaluate visible conditions around structures that may contribute to ignition risk during wildfire conditions, including nearby vegetation, exterior materials, and areas where wind-driven embers may accumulate. Our assessments are informational in nature and intended to help property owners better understand visible wildfire-related vulnerabilities.

What Is an Ember Vulnerability Assessment?
An ember vulnerability assessment is a visual, ground-based review of a property focused on identifying visible exterior conditions that may contribute to ignition risk during wildfire conditions.These assessments are informational and observational in nature. They are designed to help property owners understand how surrounding vegetation, structures, and exterior materials may influence exposure to wind-driven embers.Colorado Ember does not perform engineering analysis, structural testing, or fire modeling.
What We Look At
Visible Property Conditions We Evaluate
Vegetation & Surroundings
Nearby trees, brush, and dry vegetation that may contribute to wildfire exposure conditions.
Exterior Structures
Decks, fences, porches, and attached structures that may present ignition vulnerabilities.
Roofline (Ground-Level Observation)
Visible roof edges, gutters, and debris accumulation areas observed from ground level.
Openings & Exterior Gaps
Visible vents, openings, and exterior access points where embers may enter.
Property Layout
Spacing between structures and surrounding combustible materials or terrain features.
Wind-Driven Ember Exposure Areas
Locations where airborne embers may reasonably accumulate during wildfire conditions.
Why This Matters
Wildfire Ember Exposure in Colorado
Many properties in Colorado are located near forested areas, dry vegetation zones, or Wildland Urban Interface regions where wildfire conditions can occur during seasonal weather patterns.Wind-driven embers have been a contributing factor in structure ignition during past wildfire events, particularly in areas where exterior conditions allow embers to accumulate or enter vulnerable points of a structure.Colorado Ember assessments help property owners better understand these visible conditions so they can make informed decisions about property maintenance and wildfire preparedness.
