Fire Rebuild Experience

While Petaluma itself wasn’t directly impacted by the major Sonoma County fires, many Petaluma residents own properties throughout the county, and our community felt the impact deeply. Firebrand Electric has been actively involved in fire rebuild efforts across the region since the devastating October 2017 Tubbs Fire.

We’ve completed hundreds of fire rebuild electrical projects, working closely with families navigating the complex process of rebuilding their homes. Our experience includes coordinating with insurance companies, meeting updated building codes, working within tight timelines, and ensuring PG&E service connections are properly established.

The experience of living through multiple fire seasons and PSPS events has transformed how we think about electrical safety and resilience. We’ve helped countless Petaluma homeowners and businesses install backup generator systems and solar-plus-battery solutions to maintain power during planned shutoffs and emergencies.
