Last year, the U. S. Forest Service (part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture) reported more than 13,000 wildfires in the northeastern area. These fires burned more than 76,000 acres of forest and grassland. A number of these wildfires threatened, damaged, or destroyed structures that were located in the fire’s path.
Ina an initiative designed to help make their communities more defensible against wildfires, the National Fire Protection Association recently launched the Fire Adapted Communities website as a resource for homeowners, businesses, and emergency managers.
