WHAT IS FIREWISE USA®?
FireWise teaches homeowners practical techniques to reduce the risks of home destruction by wildfire. The NFPA FireWise USA® recognition program helps residents learn about wildfires and how they can make their homes and neighborhoods safer. Based on fire science, the program teaches how to prepare homes to withstand embers and prevent flames and surface fire from igniting homes and immediate surroundings. Other benefits include insurance discounts/availability, state, and local fire safety funding,& grants, and other programs.
