Background
Led by a wildfire mitigation specialist with more than 35 years in the fire service.
XMR Fire is led by principal Todd Lando, a wildfire mitigation specialist with more than 35 years in the fire service, from seasonal firefighter to battalion chief. In 2018 he coined "Zone 0," the ember-resistant zone closest to a structure, helped make it the standard the fire service and the state of California now use, and has studied its results at thousands of homes hit by wildfire. He advises the state on wildfire mitigation and holds the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) Certified Wildfire Mitigation Specialist credential. We bring in additional specialists as a project requires. Read the full background.
