WILDFIRE COMMUNITY RESOURCES (WCR) was founded to provide preparation resources for landowners, homeowners, and communities. Early preparation for yourself and your property is crucial to the survivability of both. Site preparation begins with establishment of defensible space and the creation of an ignition-resistant home and community. WCR supports homeowner, community group, Fire Safe Council and fire agency events. FIRE SEASON IS A YEAR-ROUND CONCERN IN MANY COMMUNITIES. Site Evaluations, Preparation, Planning and Mitigation can reduce the impact of wildfire on life and property. Planning during the winter months in areas that experience high levels of rainfall or snow can prepare you and your community for wildfire. In DRY AREAS, planning and mitigation are year round activities. An effective WILDFIRE ACTION PLAN often includes FIRE PREPARATION RESOURCES that landowners, homeowners and communities use to reduce the impact of wildfire. Our Fire Preparation Resources Include:

Emergency Supplies
Portable High Pressure Fire Pumps
Fire Blocking Foams & Gels
Super Effective Gel Application Systems
Water Storage Systems
Sprinkler Systems
Flame Resistant Clothing
Ember Protection Vents
Reflective Address Systems
Flame Retardant Tarps
Mobile Fire Suppression Equipment

PREPARATION + ACTION = IMPROVED SURVIVABILITY
