Fire Adapted Communities means that everything at risk of wildfire is prepared, including businesses, infrastructure, cultural resources, and natural areas. The Fire Adapted Communities Program is a collaborative approach that connects all those who play a role in wildfire education, planning and action with comprehensive resources to help reduce risk and educate on possible funding assistance.
