OUR GOAL 

Rotary Wildfire Ready is a community-based project designed to increase wildfire awareness and help make our communities safer from the threat of wildfire. Our goal is to help our wildfire prone areas become fire-adapted with residents who are knowledgeable, engaged and prepared for wildfire.

Rotary Wildfire Ready is comprised of a collaboration of Rotary Clubs in Colorado, various Fire Department Agencies and key community stakeholders. Rotary Wildfire Ready is funded through the Evergreen Rotary Foundation which is a 501c3 Colorado nonprofit organization.
