FireSmart

FireSmart is a program focused on reducing the risk of wildfire damage to communities and property by managing vegetation and landscape features to create defensible spaces. It involves practices like clearing combustible materials, maintaining healthy trees and shrubs, and designing landscapes that resist fire spread. The goal is to make homes and neighborhoods less vulnerable, allowing firefighting efforts to be more effective and protecting lives and property from wildfire threats. FireSmart principles can be applied by residents, property owners, and communities to promote safety and resilience in fire-prone areas.
