This day is a campaign that encourages people and organizations everywhere to come together on a single day to take action to raise awareness and reduce wildfire risks. It is held annually in the United States and Canada on the first Saturday in May. Ridgewood 108 Firewise is committed to participating in this very important event in 2025. Community participation will be essential for reporting and renewal of the Ridgewood 108 firewise certificate in 2026.

Each of us can help promote wildfire protection by participating in risk reduction projects on or before the first Saturday in May. Studies show that measures taken at the home and in the area within 100 feet of it, known as the Home Ignition Zone (HIZ), have a significant impact on minimizing damage and loss. Something as simple as clearing the immediate 5-foot zone around the home can assist in making a huge difference in avoiding a catastrophe.
