Community Services Safety and prevention area priority of Frenchtown fire. We offer a variety of community services designed to keep citizens of the district prepared.
Frenchtown Fire regularly applies for and is awarded grant money to help home owners reduce the fuels around their homes, especially the thinning of trees. We've been running a cutting-edge fuel mitigation program for over fifteen years!
The particulars of the grant changes from year to year, but we are often able to offer home owners a cost share for work done on their property. That is, in order to make our rural neighborhoods safer, the government pays part of the cost of sending a crew to your land. We work with you in making your home more likely to survive a wildfire. Contact Taylor Blakely for details.
Frenchtown Fire is a long-time participant of Firewise Communities, a national group dedicated to fire prevention and citizen safety. Click through for tips on construction, landscaping, and in-home fire safety.
