Forest fires are a part
of nature - past, present, and future - in the Idaho Panhandle.
Their occurrence is not a matter of if but when. Therefore,
homeowners living in the interface between the forest and urban areas
must expect to be impacted by wildfire. These homeowners can
choose to be proactive before the arrival of the fire or passively
accept whatever the fire does to their families and cherished
possessions. This website is dedicated to communicating proactive
and effective actions and programs for these homeowners. The
Before and After pictures below show some of these proactive steps,
while the picture to the right shows the devastating and traumatic loss
of a home to wildfire.
We encourage your participation in these proactive programs and welcome
your comments, because we are all in this together. In the case of
wildfire, every chain is only as strong as its weakest link. |
