Get Involved in Wildfire Safety

Wildfire preparedness begins with engaged, informed communities, and you can be part of the solution. Fire Safe Councils (FSCs) are grassroots groups of residents who work together to reduce wildfire risk and promote safety in their neighborhoods. Whether you’re looking to start a new council or join an existing one, El Dorado County offers support, resources, and opportunities to help you make a meaningful impact.

Interested in starting a Fire Safe Council in your area? The California Fire Safe Council offers a step-by-step guide, helpful tools, and guidance to get you started. Visit their Start a New Fire Safe Council page or contact them directly at  info@cafiresafecouncil.org to learn more about forming a council, building community partnerships, and accessing or joining available programs.
