FIREWISE Wildfires are a concern for many landowners in our district. Although Underwood Conservation District encompasses both east-side and west-side environments, fire is part of the landscape throughout the district. After 50 years of fire suppression, forests are denser and the risks wildfires pose are higher. Firewise Home Hazard Assessments If you are concerned about your home’s risk in case of a wildfire, contact UCD for a FREE Home Hazard Assessment. A Home Hazard Assessment is a personalized, one-on-one home visit to rate the fire risk of your house and your property, conducted by trained UCD staff. After your house and property have been rated for fire hazard severity, the UCD representative will work with you to develop a plan and outline some strategies to begin reducing your home’s vulnerability to wildfire. This is a free service for any landowner and an excellent way to begin or continue readying your lot for a wildfire. Contact Underwood Conservation District at 509-493-1936 to request a Firewise Home Hazard Assessment.
