Follow-Up Inspections Underway in Corte Madera and Larkspur
Uniformed Fire Inspectors will be conducting follow-up Wildfire Defensible Space and Home Hardening Inspections on residential properties in Corte Madera and Larkspur beginning June 1, 2022. Inspections are conducted by Marin Wildfire Prevention Authority (MWPA) in cooperation with the Central Marin Fire Department.
The initial Wildfire Defensible Space and Home Hardening Evaluations conducted last month resulted in a comprehensive online defensible space and home hardening report. These reports outlined steps, both required and recommended, to help reduce each individual property’s vulnerability and improve safety from wildfires. Some issues identified by inpectors are required by law, and MUST be corrected.
Online reports are available to property owners, renters, and authorized representatives, and can be viewed online at http://dspace.marinwildfire.org. A six digit access code provided by the inspectors is necessary to view the report.
Residents can accompany inspectors during the property evaluation to learn about the importance of defensible space and home-hardening. If nobody is home, that’s OK! Inspectors will evaluate publicly visible areas of the property only, and leave instructions to retrieve the online report.
