Living With Fire
Bridging the gap between science and action, Living With Fire convenes communities and stakeholders to address the challenges of wildfire. Through trusted partnerships, LWF creates science-based education and outreach programs that equitably address emerging social and ecological needs.
Since its inception in 1997, LWF has created materials for residents that have been shared and applied to fire-prone regions throughout the country. LWF provides resources to homeowners, educators, community groups and firefighting professionals to improve defensible space, ensure homes have proper building materials, manage native and non-native vegetation and prepare for evacuation. Through community outreach events, peer-reviewed publications, social media and television and radio interviews, the LWF team brings the most up-to-date information on wildfire preparedness to Nevada residents and others across the country. LWF is a collaborative effort among federal, state, local firefighting agencies, and resource management agencies.
