California Fire Safe Council

The California Fire Safe Council helps regional, state, and national organizations in order to help California residents acquire the education, resources, and tools they need to be better prepared for wildfire. A California non-profit corporation, was first formed as a project of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) in 1993, bringing together community leaders, governmental agencies, and corporations to provide education to the residents of California on the dangers of wildfires and how they could be prevented. Our early days were spent creating the Fire Safe Council concept and early materials on hazardous fuel reduction and defensible space while working with our local, agency, and corporate partners to build a thriving statewide network of interested individuals and organizations.
