Find a Local Fire Safe Council
Working Together to Create a Fire Safe San Diego County
Community Fire Safe Councils (FSCs) are the “Neighborhood Watch” for wildfire resilience across San Diego County. These grassroots, community-led organizations mobilize residents to protect their homes, neighbors, and ecosystems from wildfire risk. Each council focuses on the unique wildfire challenges in its area, from rural backcountry neighborhoods, to San Diego’s urban canyon communities.
Fire Safe Councils are made up of resident volunteers working alongside local fire agencies, CAL FIRE, and other local partners.
Fire Safe Councils work on a variety of programs and projects such as:
- Chipping, Defensible Space, Home Hardening, and Community Clean-Up Programs
- Wildfire Readiness Workshops
- Developing Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPPs)
- Reflective Address Signage, Evacuation Preparedness, and more
