With an increase in the wildland fire risks across Arizona because of drought conditions and an increase in the wildland urban interface, now is the time to be more Firewise! This program is designed to reach beyond the fire service by involving homeowners, community leaders, planners, developers, and others in the effort to protect people, property, and natural resources from the risk of wildland fire — before a fire starts.
The recently revised UA Cooperative Extension publication 'Homeowners' "Inside and Out" Wildfire Checklist' provides Arizona residents with information on how to protect their home against wildfires. Learn what to check for in areas including fire safety, defensible space, and disaster preparedness.
