Community Wildfire Protection Plan – Protect Your Home

Protect Your Home

Living in a house surrounded by nature and wildlands can be peaceful and beautiful, but it can also be risky.  Today, more and more people are choosing to live in the wildland-urban interface, where homes are surrounded by native vegetation and woodland.

Property owners in rural or remote forested areas can reduce fire risk by creating defensible space, choosing fire-resistant construction materials, and designing and maintaining a fire-resistant landscape.

A wealth of information about wildfire and your home can be found on the Firewise Web site.
