Dear Community Member, 

Thank you for contacting the FireSmart program. As explained on the linked Frequently Asked Questions sheet, this program to help you create a "survivable space" around your home to protect it from wildfire is presently out of funding to do this free work for you.  However, we are presently taking applications for a wait list.  If you would like a site visit with free advice, please let us know.

1. Return the linked Request To Participate form.  This will get you on the wait list in case we get future funding.

2. Let us know if you are willing to host a group meeting at your home with your neighbors. This not only leverages our time, but it also provides a much more effective firebreak when a group of neighbors all FireSmart their homes.

3. When we receive your information you will be added to the wait list.

4. We will contact you as soon as possible to schedule a visit to your home.

Please be aware this is a fire protection program for homes and businesses near forested areas. Thus, you must have a structure that is either a home or a business in order to qualify. We do not do beautification projects, removal of a few dead tree limbs, or falling of dangerous, over–hanging trees. Also, we do not mow grass and weeds. When we call to set up an appointment, we will be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding your specific property.

Again, thank you for inquiring about FireSmart; we look forward to getting your information and hopefully with new grant funding we can schedule a visit to your home soon.
