SOUTHWEST RIVERSIDE COUNTY FIRE SAFE COUNCIL

Empowering Communities to Become Fire Safe

Our Mission

The Southwest Riverside County Fire Safe Council was formed in 1997 to mobilize residents, organizations and agencies in SW Riverside County to make their homes and rural properties more fire safe. The Council utilizes a diverse membership of fire agencies, property owners, real estate experts, insurance companies, utility providers and others to encourage and create a unified approach to fire safety.

Projects and activities sponsored by the Council include providing community meetings and workshops, offering fire safety educational programs and materials, enhancing community disaster planning by implementing their Community Wildfire Protection Plan, sponsoring their community-wide brush collection and chipping program, offering High Visibility address signs for property owners residing in the Wildland Urban Interface, establishing large animal refuge sites within this WUI for property owners unable to evacuate during emergencies, and other projects as they arise.
