Wildfire
Wherever you live in Arizona, wildfire can reach you. Learn the steps you can take to help protect your home, family and community before the flames arrive.
Why Fires Are Getting Worse
Wildfires in Arizona are becoming more destructive. Generally higher temperatures and invasive plants, including stinknet, red brome and buffelgrass, are partly to blame. These drought-resistant, non-native species dry out in summer, raising wildfire risk and intensity. Three basic factors affect wildfire – weather, topography, and fuel. The only one we can control is fuel, and Cooperative Extension can help you do that around your home.
