Become a Firewise Community!
We are looking for neighborhood leaders to help launch a Firewise USA® chapter in your area.
Becoming a Firewise Community can:
- Improve neighborhood wildfire preparedness
- Lower community-wide wildfire risk
- Strengthen neighbor-to-neighbor collaboration
- Potentially support insurance conversations
Serving as a Firewise leader is a meaningful but manageable commitment. Leaders typically help coordinate a small group of neighbors, schedule at least one annual meeting, and work with NTCD to complete the steps required for Firewise USA® recognition. NTCD provides guidance, templates, and technical support throughout the process. You won’t be doing this alone!
If you’re interested in helping lead or participating, please email dolson@ntcd.org!
