Idaho Firewise is one of ten organizations across the U.S. to receive grant funding in support of Wildfire Community Preparedness Day on May 4, 2024.
The announcement was made Tuesday at the Wildland-Urban Interface Conference in Reno, NV by the National Fire Protection Association and State Farm. Idaho Firewise (IDFW) is a non-profit organization dedicated to wildfire preparedness. Similar to the national Firewise USA program, Idaho Firewise focuses on community-based efforts to create defensible space, improve home survivability, and foster collaboration among residents, landowners, fire agencies, and other stakeholders.
Each organization is getting $10,000 to help support and enhance their planned projects and community outreach for this year’s Preparedness Day campaign.
