Reducing the Risk of Embers Igniting our Homes and Neighborhoods

Wildfires often spread through neighborhoods when wind-driven embers ignite the first home, and the fire moves from house to house.

This site shares lessons from wildfire damage assessments and fire science research to help Serrano residents understand the risk—and the steps we can take together to make our community more wildfire resilient.

FIRE SAFE SERRANO Can Help

Working with our partners, we are a nonprofit team of Serrano volunteers helping residents reduce wildfire risk through home and block assessments, practical education, and community events. We also pursue grant funding for risk-reduction projects and, in partnership with the HOA, manage Firewise USA® recognition for our three communities.
