Grind Fire Defense

If you’re new here, this is a good place to start.

I’m Lori, the owner of GRIND FIRE DEFENSE in Northern California.

I work with homeowners, HOAs, and property managers in fire-prone areas, focusing on defensible space and vegetation management that’s grounded in real fire behavior — not shortcuts or scare tactics.

A lot of people feel overwhelmed by wildfire rules, inspections, and conflicting advice. My role often starts with helping people understand what actually matters for their property and why.

This page is where I share practical, experience-based information about defensible space, vegetation management, and wildfire preparedness — so homeowners can make informed decisions without feeling pressured or upsold.

If you’re here to learn, you’re in the right place.
