Check Your Wildfire Risk Report Tam Valley!



Southern Marin Fire District is committed to working with you to reduce the risk of wildfire through home hardening and defensible space evaluations on your property. During the week of August 26th, neighbors in Tam Valley were evaluated for wildfire risk by Southern Marin Fire District with the help of Marin Wildfire Prevention Authority. If you were not at home, we would only have inspected what we could see from the street to your front door.

Review your report online or request a copy to be mailed to you. Go to www.marinwildfire.org/dspace or call (415) 275 – 1185 for help and resources. Wildfire Risk Reports are available online to property owners, renters, and authorized representatives.
