Lake Travis Fire Rescue and trained Steiner Firewise volunteers offer FREE home risk assessments to help you and your family prepare for the worst. Is your home hardened? Do you have defensible space? Do you and your family have a “To Go Kit?” If you answered no to any of these questions, please sign up for your free assessment today.

This assessment is private, confidential, occurs outside your home, and takes roughly an hour to complete, depending on your level of interest and questions. It is conducted entirely outside of your home/structure, and no preparation is necessary. You will be given a report with recommendations to implement at your own discretion. You can contact us any time with questions.
