Firewise: Helping Homeowners Prevent Catastrophic Wildfires
The Departments of Agriculture and the Interior are
working closely with States and NGOs like the Student Conservation
Association to implement the Firewise Program. Firewise encourages
homeowners who live near wild lands to take sensible steps to reduce
hazardous conditions that promote wildfires near their homes and communities.
Since the first workshop, more than 1,800 people from 600 communities
and 47 states have been trained in Firewise concepts.
