MOUNTAIN RIM FIRE SAFE COUNCIL INC

Mountain Rim Fire Safe Council is here to help educate our neighbors to protect the whole community, HOUSE BY HOUSE. We must work as neighborhood groups, get the word out and get the work done. Let’s work smart and help each other for the safety of us all!

Fire Safe Councils are about more than “fire”, we are about public safety. We collaborate with other organizations in our endeavors: COP’s, CERT, Neighborhood Watch, Veterans, Red Cross, and all the government agencies. Our primary role is education and communication – where ever there are meetings we can be there to share valuable information in advance of the disaster. Wildfire preparation is a critical component of living in the mountains (Wildland Urban Interface) areas. We choose to reside away from the "city", but that brings different and very real challenges for being prepared.

MRFSC provides citizens updates and information from our local, state and federal agencies regarding fire prevention and protection efforts and conditions; Learning what is being done by our agency partners to make our lives safer and acknowledging our role in those efforts. We CAN make a difference in how our neighborhood survives a wildfire.

MRFSC also seeks funding to assist in fuel reduction, education and outreach and assisting those who cannot - either physically or fiscally - create the defensible space around their property to better protect it from wildfire.
