Photograph the ember-catch points around an invited rebuilt Talent home (2026-07-18)

The 2020 Almeda Fire burned through Talent and Phoenix along the Bear Creek corridor and destroyed thousands of homes, many in manufactured-home parks. Rebuilt homes are going back in with the same vulnerable details — open vents, debris-filled gutters, dry vegetation against the skirting — that let wind-blown embers in the first time. A photo survey of one invited home's ignition points gives the household a concrete fix list. Standard: NFPA Firewise home ignition zone assessment guidance; SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities). Proof: photo set of every finding plus the marked home sketch Method (NFPA Firewise home ignition zone assessment guidance; SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities).): 1. Confirm the host's invitation and walk the home's full perimeter together. 2. Photograph every unscreened vent, gutter with debris, and spot where dry vegetation or stored material touches the walls or skirting within 5 feet. 3. Mark each finding on a simple home sketch with a priority order. 4. Leave the household the sketch and the matching fix list from this board. 5. GPS-tag and date every photo and the completed sketch. Done when: photo set of every finding plus the marked home sketch

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 45–90 minutes. Method of record: NFPA 1144 / Firewise USA structure-ignition-zone defensible-space assessment — documentation-only from a safe public/yard vantage

Bring

• camera with zoom
• GPS-capable phone
• tape measure or pace-count reference
• Firewise USA zone checklist
• field notebook

Steps

1. 1. Document only — photograph Zone 0 (0-5 ft from the structure), Zone 1 (5-30 ft) and Zone 2 (30-100 ft) from the driveway or yard edge; never enter dense brush or approach a structurally questionable outbuilding.
2. 2. Note vegetation type, spacing and ladder-fuel presence (brush touching tree canopy) in each zone from the safe vantage.
3. 3. Photograph the roof material, gutters, vents, and any firewood or combustible material stacked against the structure.
4. 4. Compile the zone-by-zone findings into a defensible-space checklist naming what a licensed/credentialed vegetation-management crew should clear first; never clear, cut, or move anything during this survey.

If it does not match the plan

• Any combustible material (mulch, firewood, dry vegetation) touching the structure in Zone 0 -> flag as highest-priority clearing item.
• Ladder fuel (brush contacting tree canopy) found in Zone 1 -> flag for a credentialed crew's thinning pass.
• Any structurally unstable or fire-damaged outbuilding observed -> do not approach; note location only and route to the local fire authority.

What counts as done

• Photo set covering all three ignition zones from a safe, named vantage point
• Roof/gutter/combustible-storage condition photographed
• Zone-by-zone checklist compiled naming the follow-on clearing job

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
