Joshua Martarella serves as president of the Lake Forest Volunteer Fire Department in Lassen County, California, where he leads fire prevention programs, coordinates emergency response training, and supports wildfire preparedness for the rural community around Lake Forest.
Josh joined the board shortly after the Hog Fire swept through the area in 2020. He and his family had been evacuated from their cabin on two separate occasions during the pandemic when wildfires got close. Rather than stand by, he joined the volunteer fire department to be more involved and more aware of what was happening in a community where he remains a part-time resident with deep ties.
He served as a board member for three years before being elected president, a role he has held for the last two years.
That firsthand experience with wildfire evacuation and fire prevention translates directly into his work at PPWPM. Many California homeowners face insurance cancellations and non-renewal notices because their properties do not meet fire-safe exterior maintenance standards. Roofs with moss, lichen, or organic debris get flagged as fire hazards. Clogged gutters filled with dry leaves become ignition points. Properties without documented maintenance histories face higher premiums or outright cancellation.
Through Professional Powerwashing & Property Maintenance, Josh helps homeowners and property managers address these risks. The company's roof soft washing, gutter cleaning, and fire-safe exterior maintenance services include full before-and-after photo documentation and inspection reports that insurance brokers can use to reinstate policies or prevent cancellation.
