ABOUT EMBER GUARD SERVICES

Wildfire Protection, Done Professionally

Ember Guard Services was created to help Sea-to-Sky homeowners protect their properties from increasing wildfire risk — without the stress, uncertainty, or safety concerns that often come with mitigation work.

Founded by Marina Serrano, Ember Guard Services operates as a FireSmart coordination and management company. We handle assessments, planning, scheduling, communication, and quality control — and partner with trained, insured field crews to carry out all physical mitigation work safely and professionally.

This model allows us to deliver reliable, high-quality wildfire protection while keeping safety, insurance, and accountability at the forefront.

OUR APPROACH

Wildfire mitigation is not just about cutting brush — it’s about doing the right work, the right way, with the right people.

Our approach is simple and intentional:

  • We assess your property using FireSmart principles

  • We design a clear mitigation plan based on your risk level

  • We coordinate qualified subcontractor crews who specialize in vegetation management and fuel reduction

  • We oversee the project from start to finish, ensuring work meets FireSmart guidelines and safety standards

You don’t need to manage labour, equipment, or liability — we do that for you.

WHY OUR MODEL WORKS

By coordinating experienced subcontractor teams rather than relying on in-house labour, Ember Guard Services offers:

  • ✔ Access to trained, insured professionals

  • ✔ Flexible scheduling during peak wildfire season

  • ✔ Reduced overhead (which keeps pricing fair)

  • ✔ Safer job sites with specialized crews

  • ✔ Clear communication and accountability through one point of contact

This structure allows us to scale responsibly while maintaining consistent quality and safety.

SAFETY & INSURANCE FIRST

Safety is non-negotiable.

All field work coordinated by Ember Guard Services is performed by insured subcontractor crews who are required to:

  • Carry their own liability insurance

  • Follow WorkSafeBC safety standards

  • Use appropriate PPE and certified equipment

  • Adhere to FireSmart best practices

Ember Guard Services oversees quality control, documentation, and client communication to ensure each project is completed professionally and responsibly.

SERVING HOMEOWNERS, REALTORS & BUILDERS

We work with:

  • Homeowners looking to reduce wildfire risk

  • Realtors preparing homes for sale

  • Property managers and vacation rentals

  • Builders and construction companies seeking FireSmart-ready properties

Whether you’re protecting a primary residence, preparing a listing, or completing a new build, we tailor mitigation plans that fit your goals and timeline.

OUR COMMITMENT

We are committed to:

  • Clear, honest communication

  • Reliable scheduling

  • Professional coordination

  • FireSmart-aligned solutions

  • Respect for your property and privacy

Wildfire risk is serious — and your mitigation plan should be too.
