What is the meaning of "high brush" areas?

Insurance carriers do not want to insure property in these areas because of the high risk potential for loss. This leads to an increase in non-renewal notices and limits the number of options you have to protect your home from a catastrophic loss.

Insurance carriers define "high brush" as any location with living or dead plant matter, including: bushes, shrubs, trees, and other vegetation near your home.

When a location is over saturated with brush, it makes it more subject to wildfires.

Brush Homes Issues to Consider

Location

Surrounding area brush terrain and landscape. Poor road access for emergency services.

Fire Protection Class

This is a fire department score between 1-10 (10 being very high risk).

Distance to Water Source

Insurance carriers prefer you home is withing 1,000 feet from a fire hydrant.

Closest Fire Department

Insurance companies want your property to be close to a "responding" fire station, not just a volunteer station.

Roof Type

If your home has wood shake roof, it is subject to a fire as opposed to a fire proofed or metal roof.

Primary Two Factors in Considering Fire Risk

1. Home Distance to Brush
2. Density of Brush Location
