Photograph the ember-catch points around an invited Weed home

Weed has burned twice in a decade — the 2014 Boles Fire and the 2022 Mill Fire — and both times wind-blown embers lit homes through gutters, vents, and cluttered wall lines. A photo survey of an invited home's catch points, ranked into a fix list, is the first step every remaining and rebuilt house in town needs before the next north-wind day. Standard: NFPA/IBHS home ignition zone assessment + CAL FIRE PRC 4291; SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities. Proof: Photo survey plus ranked fix list delivered Method (NFPA/IBHS home ignition zone assessment + CAL FIRE PRC 4291; SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities.): 1. Confirm the invitation and walk the exterior with the resident. 2. Photograph every catch point: gutter debris, unscreened vents, flammables within 5 feet of walls, under-deck storage, wood fences meeting siding. 3. Rank findings into resident-do, helper-do, and crew-level items on one page. 4. Mark the top three with the resident. 5. Photograph the delivered list and log the survey. Done when: Photo survey plus ranked fix list delivered

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.
