Every year, wildfires threaten thousands of homes, causing billions of dollars in damages and leaving homeowners scrambling to protect their properties. For many, the question isn’t if a wildfire will strike but when. Yet, navigating wildfire risks—from understanding vulnerabilities to securing insurance—can feel overwhelming.
That’s where Henge steps in. By leveraging AI-driven insights, Henge empowers homeowners to take control of their property’s risks, ensuring their homes remain safe, insurable, and valuable.
Wildfires are becoming more frequent and destructive due to changing climate patterns. In fire-prone areas like California, these threats are amplified, leaving homeowners with higher insurance costs, stricter coverage requirements, and greater risks to their property values.
Rising Costs: Insurance premiums in wildfire-prone areas have skyrocketed, and some companies are refusing to renew policies altogether.
Increased Risk: Over 4.5 million U.S. homes are at high or extreme risk of wildfire damage.
Being unprepared doesn’t just put your home at risk—it can also jeopardize your ability to secure insurance and maintain your property’s value. Preparation isn’t just smart; it’s essential.

Use Fire-Resistant Materials: Opt for fire-resistant roofing, siding, and decking materials to minimize your home’s vulnerability.
Install Ember-Resistant Vents: Prevent embers from entering your home by upgrading vents to ember-resistant models.
