Hidden Valley Joins The Firewise Community

Good News!!

We have received a three-year certification as a FireWise Community (FWC). Many actions are underway to implement the FWC Action Plan: Our Board, staff, and volunteers are actively maintaining our Hidden Valley common areas through regular spraying, trimming, felling, and burning. Our sensor system will alert us to issues and may provide additional time for evacuation. An initial assessment has been completed to identify lots that may be at greater risk. Now YOU can make a significant difference by creating defensible space around your own structures and by having plans in place to evacuate if necessary.

National Fire Protection Association

Known as the trusted source of safety knowledge, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has been helping to solve some of the planet’s toughest safety problems for more than 125 years. To remain relevant for over a century as a knowledge and information organization, we’ve continually evolved our scope of expertise—from fire prevention, wildfire preparedness, and electrical safety to hazardous materials, community risk reduction, and public safety.

Placer County ranks number one in the nation for Firewise USA Communities

Placer County is now the top-ranked county in the United States and California for the number of communities participating in the Firewise USA program. With a total of 98 Firewise USA Communities, Placer County has solidified its position as a leader in wildfire prevention. “Placer County’s success in becoming a Firewise USA leader is a direct result of the collective efforts of our community members,” said Placer County District 5 Supervisor Cindy Gustafson.
