About the Grant:
Wildfire Prevention Grants from CAL FIRE support a wide range of projects that proactively reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires. Eligible activities include hazardous fuel reduction, defensible space creation, prescribed burning, and community fire planning. These grants are designed for local agencies, nonprofits, tribes, and resource conservation districts—especially those working in wildland-urban interface zones. With climate-driven fire seasons becoming longer and more intense, this program is essential to fire-prone LA regions.
