Wildfire Protection

There are many steps those living in forested areas can take to protect their homes from wildfires and reduce the loss of harvestable timber in forests.

FireSafe Spokane provides fire safe education and assistance for Spokane,  Pend Orielle, Stevens and Lincoln Counties. Be sure to visit their website for fire safety steps, home protection tips, a list of fire resistant plant materials, and much more.

 


NEW Fire Risk Assessment Program

Protect your home from wildfire and prevent catastrophic fires from developing. A District forester will visit your home site and evaluate its ability to survive a wildfire. Appointment duration is typically less than one hour for each home site. Homeowners will receive an assessment form that will provide practical ways to increase their homes' ability to survive a wildfire. Call (509) 535-7274 or email the District forester to set up a free appointment.
