Twin Falls County Firewise

Thursday, September 02, 2010

Wildland fire is a natural process, and is necessary for the survival of many plants and animals. But no one wants to see homes lost to fire. If you live near wildlands, your home may be at risk. Unfortunately, once a wildfire starts, firefighters may not have the time or resources to protect every home in its path.

YOU CAN TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR HOME BEFORE A FIRE STARTS.

Our Firewise program involves homeowners, developers and other community members in an effort to protect people, property and natural resources from the risk of wildland fire - before a fire starts.

We aim for safer design in home construction,  landscaping and maintenance.
