Firewise
Becoming "Firewise" is a process. Being Firewise is not difficult, but requires commitment. A Firewise person pays attention to those details in the environment that might start or encourage the spread of a wildfire. You can learn about how to do that on the Firewise website.
The Firewise website includes educational information for people who live in or vacation in fire-prone areas of the United States. It was designed to acquaint people with the challenges of living with wildland fire. The site includes interactive games and tutorials, along with a message board and a Firewise Communities Workshop area. Learn how you can make your own neighborhood Firewise by participating in the Firewise Communities/USA recognition program.
All information is supplied and approved by the National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG), a consortium of wildland fire agencies that includes the U.S. Forest Service, the Department of the Interior, the National Association of State Foresters, the U.S. Fire Administration, and the National Fire Protection Association.
The National Fire Plan is a cooperative, long-term effort among various governmental agency partners.
