Home Wildfire Defender was founded by James Young, MBA,  in the wake of the catastrophic Los Angeles fires, where emergency response was overwhelmed and over 16,000 homes were lost, leaving thousands of residents, many of them under insured, without a home. The fact is, it didn't have to happen this way, to be so catastrophic. What happened in LA could happen here in Marin but as individuals, and in community, we can take relatively simple steps to reduce our risk.
