Many people in the tri-county area of Helena, Montana live in areas prone to wildfire. A wildfire risk assessment allows homeowners to evaluate their exposure to fire as well as the critical factors that increase their risk. Identifying and understanding the risks and what can be done to reduce them, is the first step in taking personal responsibility. The completion of a wildfire risk assessment is the first step in participating in a hazardous fuels reduction project. Financial cost-share assistance may be available. TCFSWG works with landowners to identify their risks through a FREE risk assessment.
