Community FIREWISE Info
We encourage Lot Owners to reduce wildfire risks to our community by cleaning up your lots and participating in tracking your hours and/or dollars spent in lot clean up. This is very important to help protect our Mountain from the threat of fire and the damage it can do when there is too much fuel available for the fire. Do your part, click the link below and add your time and money spent.
When completing the form on the hyperlink, include as much documentation as you can, if possible, uploading before and after pictures of the lot clean up, include receipts, etc. At the end of the season, the Kane County Fire Warden will be able to apply for Federal Grants using these “In-Kind Dollars” as required matching funds are supplied to the Forest Service and Utah Department of Natural Resources to reduce fire fuels on private lands in our communities.

After completing the form and you click SUBMIT it goes right to the FIREWISE console for submission of matching funds.
