Fire Prevention
All of us can help protect our communities from devastating wildfires by practicing fire prevention and safety. As Smokey Bear says, only YOU can prevent wildfires. If you see smoke, fire, or suspicious activities, note the location as best as you can and call 911.
Burned Area Emergency Response
The Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) program addresses these situations with the goal of protecting life, property, water quality, and deteriorated ecosystems from further damage after the fire is out. Concern for possible post-fire effects on fish, wildlife, archaeological sites, and endangered species are often the primary considerations when developing a BAER plan.
