Welcome to the new Living With Fire website. Please check out our newest features: the interactive Fire Adapted Communities digital model, and a testimonial section on the Learning Center where we share video interviews with homeowners, firefighters and others talking about their real-life experiences living and working in fire-prone areas. You can also “like” us on Facebook to keep up with current events.

Just released is a Public Service Announcement that will begin airing in Northern Nevada, a collaborative effort produced with funding from the US Forest Service and Nevada Division of Forestry.  Watch it HERE!

If you need wildfire preparedness information or have an idea for making the Living With Fire website more useful, please Contact Us tab and let us know.
