A Simple Platform for Home Evaluations
The DSI platform is an all-in-one solution for wildfire safety assessments in the built environment.
A purpose built iPad app allows inspectors to quickly and accurately record all the details on a property.
Our app automatically generates a customized and secure online report that gives residents easy to follow steps to improve their resilience to wildfire.
All of our features are controlled by the admin tool which allows you to manage inspections, send out reports, and get detailed insights at the parcel to neighborhood to regional level.

“I used to go out and do 100 inspections, but then get 99 calls from people asking questions like ‘which juniper, tree, or structure do I remove?’ The investment in Fire Aside’s software has eliminated almost all of those follow up requests, freeing up our time to do more inspections and improve overall resident engagement.“
