Encouraging communities to collaborate and reduce wildfire risks
what is firewise?
The Program
The Firewise USA® program is a national initiative by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).
This program helps neighbors work together on wildfire preparedness, including defensible space creation, home hardening, and evacuation planning.
It emphasizes community responsibility in planning and design, as well as individual responsibility for safer home construction, landscaping and maintenance.
