What is the Sun Valley Firewise Community?
Marin is the fastest-growing Firewise county in the US!
Marin has more Firewise USA-recognized neighborhoods than any other county in California and is the top Firewise USA county in the nation.
It begins with local residents organizing to develop a plan to take individual responsibility for preparing and protecting their homes from the risk of wildfire. Creating defensible space also helps others—with the unique topography of the Sun Valley “flats,” some neighbors will need additional support.
We can reduce the risk of wildfire significantly if we create and maintain defensible space, remove dead vegetation, clean the ground around and trim the lower trunks of trees, limit broom and other chaparral shrubs that are invasive, and cut back flammable plants to a safe distance from structures.
Let’s protect our Sun Valley San Rafael community.
