What is “FIREWISE COMMUNITIES/USA”? Resident involvement is the cornerstone of the FIREWISE COMMUNITIES/USA RECOGNITION PROGRAM. As participants in the program, you and your neighbors will learn how to decrease the risk of losing your homes and to best protect yourselves in the event of wildfire. The Program draws on a community’s spirit, its resolve, and its willingness to take responsibility for reducing wildfire risks by providing the resources needed to achieve both a high level of protection against wildland/urban interface fire and ecosystem balance. The Program utilizes a three-legged template:
