"Creating a fire-adapted and resilient El Dorado County through collaboration and coordination"

Thinking of becoming a Firewise Community?

Plan it:

Work with your Regional Coordinator to complete a Community Wildfire Risk Assessment. The risk assessment identifies areas of successful wildfire risk reduction and areas where improvements could be made. Emphasis should be on the general condition of homes and related home ignition zones.

Use the risk assessment to create a three-year action plan to identify and prioritize actions to reduce ignition risk to homes. These can include community-wide investments along with suggested homeowner actions and education activities.
