Firewise USA ® Community Program

The Firewise USA® program provides a collaborative framework for neighbors to reduce wildfire risks at the local level. The national recognition program’s annual criteria is designed to empower and engage residents living in wildfire prone areas with a plan and actions that can increase their home’s chances of surviving a wildfire; while also making it safer for firefighters.

The regional coordinator for the Firewise USA® program in Placer County can be contacted by email at [email protected] or by phone at (530) 886-FIRE (3473).
