Firesafe Spotlight Messages
This fire season, were you prepared or lucky? Fire behavior is determined by fuel, weather, and topography. Of these, you can only influence the fuels on your property! The objective is to treat fuels so that when a wildfire burns, it is less severe and more easily suppressed. Sign up here for your FREE wildfire risk assessment to learn more.
Wildfire is a part of living in Montana. Learn more about how you can co-exist with wildfire by watching Living Safely with Wildfire. Also, learn about wildfire issues across the U.S. in a video published by Vox, Why Fire Season Doesn’t End. Remember, you do not have to live in a forest to be in a wildfire! Helena is a community at risk. Learn how city residents can become “wildfire ready” in Helena: A Community at Risk.
Spotlight Update: January 2026
In the event of a wildfire conflagration, fire fighting resources could quickly become overwhelmed. Regardless of where we live, we need to make our homes and property as fire-safe as possible to give them a fighting chance to protect our lives and livelihoods. Thank you for a great year in 2025! With
your help, we have been making a difference by reducing wildfire risk in the home ignition zone, one landowner at a time.
