A clear way to protect your home, and your community, from wildfire
In the recent PBS Weathered documentary, After the LA Firestorm, XyloPlan co-founder and Chief Fire Officer Dave Winnacker is featured explaining why today’s most destructive fires overwhelm even the best firefighting response once fire enters communities.
The film documents what happens when extreme wind, dry conditions, and dense development align and poses a simple but urgent question. What are you doing before the next fire comes?
Wildfire risk is no longer just a firefighting problem. It is a community preparedness problem, and actions taken before a fire starts can help protect your community.

OUR VISION
XyloPlan uses data–driven methods to create a shared view of wildfire risk for insurers, local government, utilities, and landowners. We provide actionable and cost-effective recommendations to reduce risk by disrupting Fire Pathways™.
Our goal is to provide a framework to create and maintain Fire Adapted Communities through high-value, prioritized mitigations, which slow wildfire spread into critical areas. These mitigations allow communities to encounter wildfire without sustaining catastrophic damage.
