- Firewise Community - Are you concerned about wildfire? Living where wildfires can occur poses a risk to your property, loved ones, and community. But it is possible to live compatibly with this natural event. The Firewise Communities/USA Program can make you and your home safer from wildfire. Accepting personal responsibility for fire prevention around your home helps local fire fighters concentrate on fighting wildfires; while keeping everyone safe from loss and injury. Preparation prior to a wildfire event can increase your home’s chance of survivability. Citizen involvement is the cornerstone of the Firewise Program. If you live in an area that’s susceptible to wildfires, The Washington State Department of Natural Resources can offer you information on how you can help your community to become Firewise. As participants in the Program, you and your neighbors will learn how to decrease the risk of losing your homes and how to best prepare your home and community prior to a wildfire event. Neighborhoods, subdivisions, and small towns in fire prone areas can earn National Firewise Recognition status by working together with neighbors to protect homes and properties from the risk of wildfire. A neighborhood, subdivision, or community could be as small as 5-6 homes. It all begins with you. Becoming Firewise takes coordination with your neighbors and partners. But getting started is actually quite simple. Discover the benefits of positive community action toward safety and achieve national recognition for your local efforts. If you are interested in protecting your home from wildfire, please contact your local Firewise Program Representatives with the Washington State Department of Natural Resources, Charley Burns or Jane Potter. They will visit your area and evaluate the fire risk in your community. For more information about Firewise Communities/USA, go to: www.firewise.org Jane Potter at (360)802-7030 or jane.potter@dnr.wa.gov Charley Burns at (360)802-7005 or charley.burns@dnr.wa.gov
