No matter where you live, winter brings a change in season and a time to think about home-heating safety. Heating equipment is one of the leading causes of home fires and home fire deaths? With a few simple safety tips and precautions, you can prevent most heating fires from happening.
CAL FIRE launches its Fuels Reduction Project Viewer showing efforts made by CAL FIRE's crews, as well as through funding provided by CAL FIRE's Wildfire Prevention and Forest Health Grants Programs. This fuels reduction viewer provides a look at the work in progress this year and completed projects last fiscal year.
In a 45-Day Report to Governor Gavin Newsom in response to Executive Order N-05-19, CAL FIRE systematically identified high priority fuels reduction projects and other measures to immediately begin to protect over 200 of California's most wildfire-vulnerable communities and put the state on a path toward long-term wildfire prevention and forest health.
CAL FIRE wants you to be fire safe. Being ready for wildfire starts with maintaining defensible space, hardening your home, and planning to evacuate in case of an emergency. Find the right wildfire action plan for your family and home by using the Prepare for Wildfire checklist or by visiting the ReadyforWildfire website.
Formed to deliver a more holistic, integrated approach toward effective forest management. The Task Force’s purpose has been to develop a framework for establishing healthy and resilient forests that can withstand and adapt to wildfire, drought and a changing climate.
When you sell property that is located in a high or very high fire hazard severity zone, you’ll need documentation of a compliant Defensible Space Inspection. Schedule a defensible space inspection today!
