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 wildfire risk mitigation coordination and management company. We handle property reviews, 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 risk reduction 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 practical and intentional:

  • We review your property using widely recognized wildfire risk-reduction principles used across British Columbia

  • We design a clear, property-specific mitigation plan based on your risk level

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

  • We oversee each project from start to finish, ensuring work meets professional standards and safety requirements

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

WHY OUR MODEL WORKS

By coordinating experienced subcontractor teams rather than relying on in-house labour, Ember Guard Services is able to offer:

✔ Access to trained, insured professionals
✔ Flexible scheduling during peak wildfire season
✔ Reduced overhead (which helps keep pricing fair)
✔ Safer job sites with specialized crews
✔ Clear communication 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 established wildfire risk-reduction practices

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

  • Homeowners looking to reduce wildfire risk

  • Realtors preparing homes for sale

  • Clear, honest communication

  • Reliable scheduling

  • Professional coordination
