Firewise USA®: Our 2025 Certification Effort
We are excited to share that our neighbor, Bill Davis, is actively working to renew our neighborhood’s Firewise USA® recognition for 2025.
This national certification, administered by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), recognizes communities that take proactive steps to reduce the risk of wildfire. It’s not just a badge of honor—it’s an important part of protecting our homes, property values, and the safety of our neighborhood. In a time when fire insurance is increasingly difficult to obtain, being a Firewise community can also serve as a valuable selling point and peace of mind for homeowners.
What is Firewise USA®?
The Firewise USA® program supports communities that work together to:
- Assess local wildfire risks
- Create and maintain defensible space around homes
- Use fire-resistant landscaping and materials
- Develop an action plan for ongoing mitigation
- Educate neighbors about wildfire preparedness
- Participate in annual community-wide fire safety efforts
We previously held Firewise USA® recognition and are working hard to renew that status for this year. Many thanks to Bill Davis for leading the charge!
