Embr Clearzone provides a self-guided property assessment tool to help homeowners understand and prepare for Zone Zero defensible space requirements. The App includes guided inspection checklists, AI-assisted visual scanning, educational content, and compliance preparation reports for informational purposes only. IMPORTANT: The App is a long-term preparedness tool only. It must never be used during an active fire event or while an evacuation order is in effect. See Section 4 for full details.
ALL APP CONTENT IS FOR INFORMATIONAL AND EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. The App does NOT constitute a professional fire safety inspection, a formal Zone Zero compliance determination, or a substitute for an official evaluation by IBHS, CAL FIRE, San Diego County Fire Authority, or any other authorized authority. App results are preliminary estimates only. Actual compliance determinations can only be made by qualified evaluators authorized under applicable law.
THE APP IS A LONG-TERM PREPAREDNESS TOOL ONLY. IT IS NOT AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE DEVICE. (a) NEVER USE DURING ACTIVE FIRE EVENTS: The App must never be used during an active wildfire or while any evacuation warning or order is in effect. (b) OFFICIAL INSTRUCTIONS TAKE ABSOLUTE PRIORITY: In any emergency, follow all instructions from CAL FIRE, San Diego County OES, local fire departments, and law enforcement. App data must never override official directives. (c) DO NOT REMAIN ON PROPERTY TO CONDUCT AN ASSESSMENT during any active fire threat. (d) In any fire emergency, call 9-1-1.

YOU EXPRESSLY ASSUME 100% OF THE RISK FOR ACTING ON ANY AI-GENERATED HAZARD IDENTIFICATION. Artificial intelligence may produce "confidently wrong" results — the AI may identify hazards that do not exist, fail to identify hazards that do exist, or provide inaccurate descriptions of property conditions. This is an inherent limitation of AI technology. A human professional should be consulted before undertaking any significant property modification based on App results. The accuracy of AI analysis depends on photo quality, lighting, and angle outside the Company's control.
THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS-IS" AND "AS-AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. WILDFIRE COMPLIANCE GROUP LLC EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. No oral or written advice from the Company creates a warranty.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Wildfire Compliance Group LLC and its members, officers, employees, and agents from claims arising out of: (a) your misuse of the App or violation of these Terms; (b) your violation of applicable law; (c) misrepresentations made in connection with the App; (d) use of App results in an emergency situation in violation of Section 4.

What is Zone Zero? California's Zone Zero requirement, established under AB 3074 and enforced starting February 2027, mandates a completely noncombustible buffer within 5 feet of all structures in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones. This is the single highest-impact change to defensible space law in California history.
The Four Defensive Zones: Zone Zero (0–5 ft) must be completely clear of combustibles. Zone 1 (5–30 ft) requires lean, clean, green spacing. Zone 2 (30–100 ft) requires reduced fuel loads. The IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home™ standard extends these into a full structural hardening framework.
AB 888 Grant Opportunity: California homeowners in high-risk zones may qualify for up to $3,000 in grant funding for Zone Zero improvements. Documentation of your assessment is a required step in the grant application process.
Insurance Impact: Insurance companies are increasingly using FHSZ designation and defensible space compliance as underwriting factors. Proactive documentation can support coverage retention and potential premium reductions of 4–40%.
Want a professional on-site assessment? A certified compliance specialist will visit your property, walk every zone with you, and deliver a full written report with photo documentation — ready for your insurer and your AB 888 grant application.
