Are you part of a Firewise Community (FWC)? The Fire Safe Council of Nevada County coordinates the Firewise USA program. Firewise Communities raise awareness, organize at the community level, coordinate work parties, and take action to create fire-adapted communities through the implementation of defensible space standards. You can look up by your street address to see if your neighborhood is part of a FWC and if you are not, steps to create your own.
