A fire-adapted community (FAC) collaborates to identify its wildfire risk and works collectively on actionable steps to reduce its risk of loss. This work protects property and increases the safety of firefighters and residents.
Creating a FAC is a part of the National Cohesive Wildfire Management Strategy to keep communities safer during a wildfire event.
Just as wildfires can occur anywhere in the United States, FACs can be created anywhere to help protect residents in wildfire-prone areas. Following these simple steps can help your community become fire adapted.
