Chiwawa River Pines: A Recognized Firewise Community
What does that mean? EDUCATE * “Healthy” wildfires would historically
come through our area area every few years.
* Our decision to suppress it has resulted in 100 years of overgrown, dense and diseased forests.
* What used to be a natural agent aiding the health of our forests has now become the Megafire, the intensity of which leaves a landscape unable to recover for decades.
TAKE ACTION * By joining the Chiwawa River Pines Firewise Community,
you are joining your neighbors in being proactive and preparing for a wildfire event by taking responsibility for your property.
* Simple steps like raking pine needles away from structures can make the difference in saving your home. Create a safe zone around your home that is able to slow down or stop a fire.
