The best and most helpful way to join our FireWise Community is to join our Central Summit FireWise Google Group. You can do that by simply clicking on the below email link and subscribing or visiting the site link and requesting to join there. You will receive an email notifying you that your join request succeeded but is pending approval. Once approved, you'll receive another email indicating your request was approved. Once subscribed to our Google Group, you'll be in the loop on all our FireWise activities, events, and general communications.
The next step is to fill out our Property Risk Survey form. This form provides us with important characteristics of your home and property that we must gather and include in our FireWise-USA application each year. This information is also used to create and update our required 3-year Action Plan.
As a FireWise community member, you'll most certainly be working towards hardening your home and property against the threat of wildfire throughout each year. Any time and expenses spent on these efforts need to be collected and also included in our annual FIreWise Recognition application. Every hour and dollar you invest in improving your property counts towards our 1-hour per resident/year in labor or monetary investment annually. Each time you invest time and/or money towards FireWise activities, please submit that information via our Time/Expense Form.
Please note: All information collected is reported to the FireWise-USA organization in an aggregate fashion. Only our FireWise Steering Committee has access to the raw data submitted.
