A Lifetime of Community Service
Neighbors Helping Neighbor
Stan Luhr is a native San Diegan who has experienced wildfires first-hand over many decades living in the East County. For over 45 years he has been a nationally recognized forensic expert in construction, building science and risk management. He developed the construction industry's first risk management programs in 1996 and built the first field mobile software for managing construction risk. Living on the edge of the East County wildland interface, his home has been a testing laboratory for innovative fire-resistant and fire suppression technologies.
Observing firsthand the devastation of the Los Angeles Fires in 2025, he concluded that homeowners need to do much more to protect their homes--and their lives. As a former EMT and Search & Rescue volunteer, he is saddened that the majority of deaths from wildfires could have been prevented. This started his investigation journey, teaming up with firefighters, educators and equipment suppliers to find a better way to save life and property.
His team of fire professionals and contractors has researched and tested hundreds of fire protection products to find the most effective yet affordable products suitable to home fire protection. Most importantly, his deep insurance risk knowledge spanning 30 years is helping insurers return to the market and offer incentives to support science-based fire risk mitigation strategies.
This website is an evolving passion to create a complete one-stop shop for home hardening, fire suppression and survival. The products he endorses here have been specifically tested to provide low-cost but durable alternatives to the professional fire equipment sold at inflated prices.
A devoted volunteer, Stan is a member of the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) and is a trained FEMA first responder. He recently launched the Granite Hills FireWise(R) and FireSafe(R) Communities, and founded the Community Fire Response Organization, a non-profit dedicated to saving lives and property.
