Our Mission
The Napa Firewise mission is to lead the effort to reduce the risks and impacts of wildfires. We will improve the wildfire resilience of Napa County, by completing hazardous fuel reduction projects and providing resources to assist homeowners with defensible space and structure hardening to protect their homes. We will work through our Fire Safe Councils and agency partners with the support of local, state, and federal funds to implement these projects and educate our communities about how to effectively adapt to wildfires.
