Frequently asked
Before you score.
Will my insurer actually accept a Burnline report?
Burnline is a mitigation pre-screening tool, not a formal IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home certification. Homeowners use the PDF as supporting evidence in renewal conversations with carriers like USAA, American Family, State Farm, and Mercury. For full premium discounts or binding reinstatement, your carrier may still require a formal IBHS inspection.
What happens to my photo?
Your photo is analyzed and discarded. We never store images or locations. The image buffer is out of scope the moment we return your score. Our AI provider operates under paid-tier no-training terms.
How accurate is a single-photo score?
A single well-framed photo captures the riskiest side of your home with reasonable fidelity for pre-screening. Scores calibrate against Cal Fire Zone 0/1/2 spacing rules and NFPA 1144 fuel-break criteria. For a full-property audit, our Pro upgrade walks all four sides.
Burnline vs. formal IBHS inspection — what's the difference?
An IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home inspection is an on-site certified evaluation ($200–$500) that yields a formal designation some carriers use to apply premium discounts. Burnline is a fast, photo-based pre-screen ($0–$29) that tells you whether it's worth paying for the formal inspection. Score first, inspect with confidence.
Does Burnline apply to California's AB-3074 Zone 0 rule?
Yes. AB-3074 mandates a 5-foot ember-resistant Zone 0 around structures in California's high fire severity zones, with enforcement phasing in starting February 12, 2027. Burnline flags Zone 0 deficiencies against that standard. Colorado homeowners get equivalent Zone 0 guidance aligned to CSFS and local county ordinances.
What about Colorado-specific rules?
Colorado has no statewide Zone 0 mandate — rules vary by county. Boulder, Jefferson, Larimer, and Teller counties follow CSFS defensible-space guidelines closely. Some HOAs in mountain subdivisions require documented mitigation annually. Burnline aligns to CSFS guidance, NFPA 1144, and IBHS WPH standards so your report travels regardless of jurisdiction.
