FireWise is an cooperative effort among federal, state, and private agencies and organizations to promote fire safety in the wildland/urban interface. The primary FireWise tenet is that it is unnecessary to lose homes or other buildings in wildfires IF those homes or buildings are built and maintained according to simple FireWise principles. Firefighters cannot be everywhere when a wildfire occurs, but if homeowners follow FireWise suggestions, homes and buildings will survive wildfires without any firefighers being there to protect them. We have learned that we cannot prevent wildfires from happening, but we can prevent loss of homes and other structures. Please look around our website, and call us if we can help you in any way.
