Protect your property.
What you can do before, and after, a wildfire.
Before the fire.
The best time to prepare is right now.
The most effective thing you can do to protect your home from wildfire is to create defensible space. This means actively managing vegetation and fuels around your property so fire has less to burn. It’s practical, it works, and you don’t have to do it alone.
ARWC runs programs across the basin to make mitigation easier and more accessible for landowners. Whether you need a place to take your slash or want us to chip it on-site, we can help.
