EDUCATION HELPS TO REDUCE WILDFIRE RISK TO PROPERTY

FREE TRAINING FOR PROFESSIONALS AND PROPERTY OWNERS

Wildfires pose a significant threat for the over 45 million structures at risk in the United States. But total property destruction and widespread devastation can be lessened by the actions of proactive community leaders and those who own or maintain properties that are at risk.

NFPA® offers two free training courses: Reducing Wildfire Risk to Property: Protecting Your Home or Business provides home and business owners and property managers with the information they need to take simple, inexpensive mitigation actions. Reducing Wildfire Risk to Property: Professional Online Training gives fire service professionals the in-depth knowledge needed to identify and communicate risks and a range of mitigation options.
