Citizen Involvement
-
Citizen involvement is the cornerstone of a Firewise Community.
-
As participants in this effort you and your neighbors will learn how to decrease the risk of losing your homes and to best protect yourselves in the event of wildfire.
-
Within wildland/urban interface areas, firefighters lack the resources to defend every home that is threatened during extreme wildfires.
-
Communities whose residents take steps to reduce their vulnerability have a greater chance of surviving a wildfire.
-
A Firewise Community offers residents in fire-prone areas a unique opportunity to implement Firewise practices specially tailored to individual and community needs.
