What is a fire adapted working group?

A fire adapted working group is a collaborative of individuals with differing backgrounds who seek to improve their community’s wildfire preparedness and resilience. These groups are often comprised of local fire departments, forest contractors, home and landowners, HOAs, and natural resource agencies. These groups work collaboratively on local fire risk reduction, community preparedness, home hardening efforts, community wildfire preparedness plans, and cross-boundary treatments. Due to their collaborative nature, these groups can use creative approaches to help support their communities' wildfire needs by leveraging available funding opportunities, local contractors, and utilizing private and agency insights to focus their efforts where they will be most effective.
