About Pro
Founded in 2024 by Bart Kimber, a retired firefighter with 22 years of fire service and a disabled veteran, operating mobile throughout California from the Bay Area. Services span home hardening work such as vent replacement, support for the IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home designation, roof retardant treatment, homeowner pump and hose systems with training, year-round maintenance plans, and on-site defense during fire events.
Note: Pro Wildfire Defense is listed under defense and hardening services, not the CWMS directory. On WUI Clear, compliance records are assessed and verified only by independent NFPA Certified Wildfire Mitigation Specialists; operators like this one are the hands that do the work those records verify.

What an assessment covers
A full walk of your property against the Safer from Wildfires framework: structure (roof, vents, eaves, windows, decks), the first five feet, every defensible space zone, and ember pathways most owners never notice. Every finding is photo-documented in your WUI Clear compliance record, prioritized by severity, and mapped to the insurance discounts it can earn. Ready for blind contractor bidding on whatever you choose to fix.
