Community Engagement
Landowner Assistance
Individuals and communities play a role in fuels reduction and
community fire safety. There are several programs and organizations to
support these efforts.
Unit fire plans and Community
Wildfire Protection Plans outline fire
and fuel hazard situations at the
local level for each of CAL FIRE’s
21 Units statewide. Each identifies
prevention measures to reduce
risks, to educate and engage the
local communities, and provide a
framework to diminish the potential
loss due to wildfire. Planning
includes other state, federal and
local government agencies, as well
as Fire Safe Councils and community
based organizations. Building
strong partnerships and community
trust are core values for CAL FIRE;
these are essential for planning and
implementing fuels reduction projects
in and around communities and the
wildland.
