Vents for Wildfire Protection

For homes in wildfire-prone areas, fire damage is possible long before flames actually arrive on the site of a structure. Embers from nearby fires can make their way into homes, quickly igniting existing combustible material. Because vents are particularly vulnerable places of entry for ember intrusion, Vulcan Vents has developed a product that creates an extra barrier between embers and flames and the inside of a home. Vulcan Vents are compliant with the California Building Code and are approved for use in all Wildland Urban Interface zones.
