Firewise
The Firewise home page was created for people who live or vacation in fire
prone areas of North America. The information will help you become a firewise
individual, and acquaint you with the challenges of living around
interface/intermix wildfire. This website provides information that may lessen
the risk of wildfire loss for you, your family and your neighbors.
An educational resource for fire agencies.
Purpose: One of Nevada's most pressing natural resource issues
is the threat of wildfire to human life and property. Much of Nevada is
considered a high fire hazard environment, possessing all the ingredients
necessary to support intense and uncontrollable wildfires. Within this high
hazard environment are individual homes, subdivisions, and entire communities.
Unfortunately, many Nevada homeowners are not prepared to survive a wildfire.
The Living With Fire program was developed to inform Nevadans about how they can
live safer in high fire hazard environments. Living With Fire is not a wildfire
prevention program. Despite the best efforts of firefighting agencies, much of
Nevada's wildlands will continue to burn. The purpose of Living With Fire is to
teach people how to safely coexist with wildfire when it does occur.
Bringing People together for a safer world. The NFPA Mission - To
reduce the worldwide burden of fire and other hazards on the quality of life by
providing and advocating scientifically-based consensus codes and standards,
research, training, and education.
