The
Placer County Fire Safe Alliance provides community assistance, information
and educational programs in an effort to reduce the risks of wildfire
danger to life and property in our county

Our focus is on the wildland-urban intermix, fuel load reduction/healthy
forest ecosystem, and fire safe communities.

While long term forest health and catastrophic wildland fires are
of critical concern, we also recognize the need to maintain the
area’s economic stability, level of public safety and services.

Alliance stakeholders include public agencies representing federal,
state and local resource management, local Fire Districts, community
Fire Safe Councils, and private industry representatives. All members
of the Alliance work to improve public safety, preparedness, security
and community vitality in our region.
