Vision
That all community members are knowledgeable, self sufficient and responsible for their own personal fire safety, and after a wildfire occurs the impact is visibly lessened where homes and natural resources survive, and no loss of life is experienced.
Mission
To educate the community, to increase the awareness of fire risks, to reduce wildfire fuel loading, conserve natural resources, participate in fire recovery efforts, and to prepare for other disasters.
Values
Together we will seek to do the right thing even when it is difficult, hold ourselves accountable, do business above reproach, encourage creative problem solving and achieve our mission with integrity, enthusiasm, and good ethical practices; while maintaining respect for our neighbors as we help affectively and passionately achieve fire safety for families, their animals, and their property through education.
