Firewise Communities Program Offers New Online Toolkit

The National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) Firewise® Communities Program is offering a new Firewise toolkit, available at no cost online. Firewise is a national program that strives to encourage local solutions for wildfire safety by involving homeowners, community leaders, planners, developers, firefighters, and others in the effort to protect people and property from wildfire risks.

The materials in the toolkit are designed to meet the needs of several audiences, including homeowners, fire service professionals, community leaders, and others interested in learning how to reduce wildfire risk. The entire toolkit or its separate pieces (which include a “Guide to Firewise Principles'” and a Firewise checklist for homeowners) may be downloaded and printed for meetings, presentations, and for individual use.

To access the toolkit, please visit:
