You don't have to do this on your own!
Discover the fantastic local grassroots organizations that are overflowing with knowledge about home hardening and establishing defensible space. Your local Fire Safe Council is a valuable ally, guiding you through the process of becoming an NFPA Firewise Community, conducting thorough wildfire assessments, and applying for possible grants.
A stronger community enhances safety against wildfires for everyone. When homes in the community are fortified, individual homes also become safer. Homeowners in designated Firewise Communities can save up to 10% on their homeowners' insurance!
(note: discounts varies by provider)
NFPA Firewise Community Requirements (8-2500 dwellings, form a committee, designate a point of contact, conduct a community wildfire assessment, form a 3-year community plan)
