Dream big and take action to help make communities safer from wildfires!

This year, let's do more than just talk about trying to create communities that are safer in the event of a wildfire. Let’s take steps to make a difference!

We can not only dream bigger about wildfire safety this year - we can act!.

Frustrated by social distancing? Take it out on those low branches, tall grass, and woodpiles too close to the house!

Watch this great video from FIREWISE USA® to see how important these activities are to reduce the risk of burning embers igniting your home.
