Protection You Can Trust
At Strikeline, we go beyond standard wildfire preparedness. Based in Bend, Oregon, we are longtime Central Oregonians who appreciate and understand our local typography and forest fuel. We have lived through many evacuations and seen the personal and economic devastation that wildfires create. We are insurance, fire management, and legal professionals with over 25 years’ experience of asset protection. Each of our crews are staffed by experienced, professional firefighters who are highly trained to predict and combat wildfires and mitigate risks. These experts understand the science of fire behavior, making them uniquely qualified to implement proactive measures to safeguard your property.


Wildfire Defense Services
We offer a range of services designed to fortify your home or business against wildfire threats, including:
- Defensible Space Creation: Clearing flammable vegetation and creating buffer zones around your property in compliance with state and local regulations. These laws often require maintaining a certain distance between structures and vegetation to slow the spread of fire and provide safer access for firefighters.
- Risk Assessments: Conducting detailed evaluations of your property’s wildfire vulnerabilities and providing tailored recommendations to ensure you comply with local codes and insurance guidelines. These recommendations may include additional tree removal, installation of hardscapes, landscape rock and fire-resistant plants, irrigation, or emergency water storage options.
Frequently Asked Questions
We offer wildfire protection services to homes, businesses and government. Please contact us if you have any questions.
The Oregon Defensible Space Code is modeled after the 2021 International Wildland-Urban Interface Code. When adopted, the code will apply to areas identified in the wildland-urban interface AND at high or extreme risk of wildfire. These areas are determined by a map created by Oregon State University and the Oregon Department of Forestry.
The purpose of the Oregon Defensible Space Code is to establish minimum requirements for protecting life and property. Standards in the code are intended to mitigate the risk to life, structures, and other values from wildfire.
In creating the Oregon Defensible Space Code, the Office of State Fire Marshal went through the same process as the Oregon Fire Code adoption process. A committee of stakeholders was created to offer suggestions, ask questions, and help shape the code within the legislative framework. Public comment was also received during the code adoption process.
The Oregon Defensible Space Code can be enforced by the Office of State Fire Marshal and those identified as assistants to the State Fire Marshal (ORS 476.060).
