FIREWISE HOME ASSESSMENTS

Thank you to all those who participated in the program we had available that allowed the Ferry Conservation District to provide FREE FIREWISE ASSESSMENTS to Ferry County homeowners. Assessments focused on the ‘home ignition zone’ and offer specific recommendations for vegetation management and home maintenance that can reduce the risk of devastating loss to wildfire.

District staff went to the homes of Ferry County landowners to assess their homes for their fire risk and to provide detailed home reports/assessments. Suggestions and ideas were offered about how to significantly lower the risk of losing homes in a wildfire. This program was offered in partnership with the Skagit Conservation District.

At this time, we are waiting to hear if additional funds will become available for us to continue offering these assessments. Stay tuned...
