this is our mission

PRESCRIBED FIRE & FUELS REDUCTION

We promote the safe use of prescribed fire to reduce hazardous fuels, restore healthy ecosystems, and lower wildfire intensity. By supporting training, collaboration, and community burns, we help normalize prescribed fire as a vital, science-based tool for proactive wildfire prevention and landscape resilience.

DEFENSIBLE SPACE FOR PROPERTY OWNERS

We empower homeowners to create and maintain defensible space through education, tools, and hands-on support. Proper vegetation management and home hardening reduce ignition risk, improve firefighter access, and increase safety for families and neighborhoods in fire-prone areas.

COMMUNITY WILDFIRE EDUCATION & COLLABORATION

We engage communities through education, outreach, and partnerships that foster fire awareness and collective responsibility. By supporting local action and fire-adapted planning, we help residents prepare for wildfire and build resilience together.
