Eastern Regional Firewise Coalition

A wildfire-ready community isn't built by firefighters alone. It's built by informed residents, connected neighbors, and communities that prepare before fires ignite. Our goal is simple: to help people understand their risk, take practical steps to reduce it, and strengthen the ability of neighbors to help neighbors when it matters most.

 

The Eastern Regional Firewise Coalition (ERFC) brings together residents, Firewise communities, local agencies, nonprofits, and fire professionals to help our region become more prepared, resilient, and connected before wildfire occurs. The ERFC empowers residents and visitors of the Truckee Tahoe area.  

  

ERFC is part of the broader Wildfire Ready Coalition. While many wildfire preparedness principles apply everywhere, the Truckee Tahoe communities face unique challenges—including forest conditions, weather patterns, evacuation routes, seasonal populations, and local regulations. ERFC focuses on the information, programs, and solutions most relevant to residents living in our region.
