Sponsor this event and we'll show our appreciation for you or your business throughout the event and following year! You'll find an array of advertising options aimed at increasing your presence in wildfire safety.

The Ventura Regional Fire Safe Council is now located at 3585 Maple St in Ventura! This transition has been a long time coming. Our growth in staff and programs has been exponential in the last couple of years, as has the need for larger office space. Thank you so much to  Vern Alstot for donating a handful of chairs, a couch, and other key office furniture. And a huge thank you to Ray from Easy Office Furniture for donating five individual workstations for our office!

Applications will be accepted until August 16th! Applicants will be notified of their status August 30, 2024.

Defensible space clearance, home modifications, and retrofits can be offered at no cost to eligible Ventura County residents.

Funds are limited and will be distributed based on a number of qualifying factors; including but not limited to wildfire risk, presence of physical and/or financial barriers, veteran status, and effectiveness of the mitigations VRFSC is able to offer.

It’s truly incredible to witness the growth of the Firewise USA program in Ventura County. At the start of last year, we had only 2 recognized sites in Ventura County, and now we're celebrating our 18th community!

I've had the pleasure of meeting many of you at neighborhood workshops or home assessments and am in awe of the resilience each of you demonstrate, especially given the real challenges many face with insurance. Your commitment is what drives this program forward and, through collective efforts, is creating a safer Ventura County.

As we welcome new Firewise communities each month, the team at VRFSC is continuously improving our resources to help you navigate challenges and play a meaningful role in supporting our Firewise communities. Our Fire Safe Council has also undergone a similar growth, and as of this year, offers funding for Recognized Communities and monthly zoom workshops to provide a local space for learning.

I hope to see you at this month's Firewise Workshop!

Thank you!
