THE ORACLE FIREWISE BOARD . . .

THE ORACLE FIREWISE BOARD was started in March 2005 by a group of volunteers. They created the Firewise Community Program designed to include homeowners, planners and developers, Arizona State Land and Cornado National Forest Service personnel.

The goal of this program is to educate community members on how to protect people and property from the risk of wildfires before fire starts. As a result of this effort and with the assistance of the UA Cooperative Extension, we were declared a nationally-recognized firewise community from Firewise Communities USA.
