Overview
Mission
Fire Adapted Methow provides a community service to help people understand their wildfire risk and to educate on the appropriate actions to take to reduce the risk of wildfire to homes and properties.
What it reported doing in 2025
Fire Adapted Methow provided the staff member to form a Neighborhood Ambassador Program in which volunteers were recruited to help educate their neighbors about their risk from wildfire as well as community resources to help them understand what they can do to reduce their risks. The program ended the year with 22 ambassadors across 14 neighborhoods, representing a service area of approximately 600 people. Fire Adapted Methow also hosted a Resiliency Fair in which local agencies came and tabled with information about wildfire resiliency and also gave a walking tour. Fire Adapted Methow also completed a study with the Wildfire Research Center involving on-the-ground home assessments and homeowner surveys, culminating in an extensive body of information regarding perceptions of wildfire risk versus actual wildfire risks. This study helped to inform local agencies about ways to better support community wildfire resiliency.
