• Fiction: Wildfires only impact states in the West like California.

• Fact: In 2024, there were over 58,000 wildfires in 49 states that burned over 7
million acres that completely destroyed over 5,000 structures.

Wildfire remediation is a complex and challenging aspect of disaster restoration. While
some skills and materials overlap with structural fire cleanup, wildfires present unique
variables that demand experience and specialized knowledge.

The 2025 Los Angeles fire tragically highlighted the diverse aftermath of WUI (Wildland
Urban Interface) events, where the mix of vegetation and human-made materials
creates a particularly challenging cleanup scenario.

Save your spot to learn:

1. How do the mixed fuels of a WUI event affect category of cleaning?
2. Can a Restoration Work Plan (RWP) be built around the Light, Medium, Heavy
concept?
3. Is PRESSURE associated with WUI events, and how does it affect wildfire
cleanup differently?
4. Where do "Clean for Paint" and Sealers fit into the Light, Medium, Heavy
concept?
5. What authority/document can a restorer show a skeptical adjuster?
