What does “Firewise” mean?
Being Firewise means employing practical techniques to reduce the risks of home and property destruction by wildfire.
The Firewise Committee maintains these pages to help Edelweiss residents:
- Build and landscape to protect their own and the wider community’s property and contribute to a healthy forest
- Prepare for fire season, including emergency communications
- Monitor wildfire activity and air quality, and if necessary, safely evacuate during a wildfire event
Visit the pages below for brief information on each topic. For those seeking more detail, links are provided to documents stored on the Edelweiss web pages and to expert agencies and organizations.
