Welcome to Fire Safe Council For Monterey County's Firewise USA® Community Certification Workshop.

We are grateful to National Fire Protection Association and State Farm for providing us with a $500 grant to help make this online workshop possible during this time when many of us must shelter in place.

Firewise USA® Workshop

Firewise USA® is a voluntary program that provides a framework to help neighbors get organized, make decisions, and take action to increase the fire-ignition resistance of their homes and community. During this workshop you will receive help with overcoming some of the challenges of the certification process, learn about the many helpful resources and benefits of certification and prepare some of the documentation that is required to have your community certified as being Firewise.
