Who Are We?

To quote a nfpa.org pamphlet

“For the past couple of decades national programs like the . . . Firewise Communities/USA Fire Safe Councils have helped counties, cities and smaller entities like homeowners associations develop plans to protect themselves from wildfire. Many communities across the country have taken advantage of the technical and organizational resources and networking opportunities these offer. (Source: Community Wildfire Protection Plans: Reducing Wildfire Hazards in Wild land Urban Interface. Fire Science Digest July 2009.”

Burland Firewise is recognized as a FIREWISE COMMUNITY by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). This recognition is the result of the many hours we have invested towards education, mitigation and developing positive working relationships with other fire related organizations.
Burland Firewise consists of VOLUNTEERS from Burland Ranchettes and adjacent communities; such as Bailey Mountain, Burland Meadows, Roland Valley, and Trails West. Burland Firewise are people that have recognized action must be taken to reduce the risk of a wildfire consuming our property, our homes and our community. For more information contact Burland Firewise Coordinator Keith Doubleday at firewisebrhoa@gmail.com.
Burland Firewise recognized the 911 ADDRESS MARKERS are extremely important during an emergency situation. The address markers have reflective white numbers on a green background. During adverse weather such as fog or a blizzard or a smoky wildfire or during the middle of the night, your ambulance, fire department and law enforcement personnel will easily see your address marker. Be the smart people. Mount the address marker when you receive it. Burland Firewise sells the address markers at cost for $10.

Burland Firewise realizes that EDUCATION is key to preparing for a wildfire event. Burland Firewise distributes quarterly email updates, holds community meetings and staffs an informational booth at Bailey Day. The Burland Homeowners Association has updated their website and has a Firewise component with topics to assist you to prepare to survive a wildfire. Check out the BHOA website at www.burlandhomeowners.org.
Burland Firewise continues the MITIGATION REIMBURSEMENT program. Annually BHOA members may be reimbursed up to $75 for defensible space / fuels mitigation. Communities adjacent to Burland Ranchettes are eligible to join as Friends of Burland and receive the benefit of the mitigation reimbursement program.
