Welcome to the new Living With Fire website. We have reorganized everything to make it more user-friendly and added new resources as well. Please check out our most recent addition, the interactive Fire Adapted Communities digital model. A testimonial section has been added to the Learning Center where we share video interviews with homeowners, firefighters and others talking about their real-life experiences living and working in fire-prone areas. Also, you can “like” us on Facebook to keep up with current events. If you need wildfire preparedness information or have an idea for making the Living With Fire website more useful, please use our Contact Us tab and let us know.
