Fire-Resilient Mobile Homes
The Wildlife Urban Interface (WUI) Standard Mobile Homes in California
California’s Wildlife Urban Interface (WUI) standards establish fire-resistant building codes to protect homes in wildfire-prone areas. These regulations require non-combustible materials, defensible space, and fire-smart landscaping to reduce fire risks and improve safety.
Mobile homes built to these standards comply with California’s WUI codes (4206, 4212, 4216) and Building Code Chapter 7A for greater resilience against wildfires. The fire-resistant features include the following.

Class A Fire-Rated Shingles
Designed to resist ignition and slow fire spread, reducing roof vulnerability and preventing embers from starting a fire.
Vents
Vents have mesh or other materials that are designed to prevent embers to enter the home.
Cement Fiberboard Siding
A durable, non-combustible material that withstands high temperatures and prevents fire from spreading to exterior walls. It also resists warping and damage from extreme heat.
Dual Pane Low "E" Tempered Glass
Enhances insulation, reduces heat transfer, and minimizes breakage during fires. The tempered glass strengthens windows against extreme temperatures and flying debris.
20-Minute Fire-Rated Doors
Provides a fire barrier that can delay flames and smoke for safer evacuation. These doors help prevent fire from spreading between rooms, giving occupants more time to escape.
Ignition-Resistant Bays
Shields the underside of structures from ember ignition and heat exposure. These bays reduce the risk of fire starting from below.
Ignition-Resistant Certification Label
Confirms that materials meet rigorous fire safety standards for WUI compliance. This label certifies homeowners that their mobile home components have been tested for fire resistance.
