Community Involvement
Working with Fire Safe Councils and Adopting Firewise Standards
Communities can become more fire adapted by collaborating with Fire Safe Councils, adopting Firewise standards, becoming a Fire Adapted Community, and engaging in Community Wildfire Protection Planning.
Participation in Fuels Reduction Programs
CAL FIRE crews and grantees work on reducing overgrown vegetation, which is crucial for preventing wildfires. Individuals can participate or support these efforts, helping to remove what fires need to spread or become more severe.
Safe Debris Burning
Learning how, when, and what to burn in terms of landscape debris is important. It's essential to know the permitted times for burning and to obtain the necessary burn permits.
