Fire prevention links <br /> <br />Neither wildland firefighting agencies or <br />local fire departments can adequately <br />protect the growing number of <br />structures in interface areas. It is <br />critical that private landowners take <br />steps on their own to protect their <br />property. There are now many <br />resources available to assist property <br />owners, including a number of Web <br />sites with excellent information on fire- <br />resistant building materials, <br />landscaping techniques, evacuation <br />procedures, etc. We know you will find <br />these links very useful. <br /> <br />http://www.fs.fed.us/fire/fire_new/prev_ed/prevention/index.htm1 <br /> <br />8/15/02 <br />
