Additional Wildfire Preparedness Educational Resources

Santa Clara County Fire Department is committed to reducing wildfire risk through proactive mitigation efforts and community education. Our approach combines prevention, preparedness, and partnership to help protect lives, property, and the environment throughout the county.

Wildfire Mitigation

We focus on year-round wildfire risk reduction by conducting defensible space inspections through our Fire Prevention Division as well as hazardous fuel reduction projects via our Pre-Fire Management and Wildfire Resilience program. Our vegetation management programs are guided by best practices and are designed to establish strategic buffers that can slow or stop the spread of wildfire in high-risk areas.

Community Education

Education is a critical component of our strategy. We offer community workshops, school programs, and tailored presentations to educate community members on how to prepare their homes and families before a fire starts. By promoting Ready, Set, Go! principles and providing clear, actionable information, we empower individuals to take responsibility for their own safety.

Together with local, state, and federal partners, Santa Clara County Fire works to build a fire-adapted community—one that is informed, engaged, and ready to respond.
