About Living With Fire

The mission of the Living With Fire Program is to provide recommendations to residents on preparing for wildfire and reducing wildfire threats to homes and communities. Since its inception in 1997, the program has created materials for residents that have been shared and applied to fire-prone regions throughout the country. It provides resources to homeowners, educators, community groups and firefighting professionals to improve defensible space, ensure homes have proper building materials, manage native and non-native vegetation and prepare for evacuation. Through community outreach events, peer-reviewed publications, social media and television and radio interviews, the program team brings the most up-to-date information on wildfire preparedness to Nevada residents and others across the country. 

How Living With Fire Can Help

We have many tools available to educators, homeowners, community groups, fire safe councils/fire adapted communities and firefighting professionals to help educate and inform others about mitigating Nevada’s wildfire threat. Presented below are some of the resources available to help make your home and community more likely to survive a wildfire.

Living With Fire is a collaborative effort among federal, state, local firefighting agencies, and resource management agencies.
