The Santa Clara County FireSafe Council (SCCFSC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating and assisting homeowners and landowners in wildfire-prone communities in Santa Clara County and parts of Santa Cruz County. They collaborate with CAL FIRE, Santa Clara County Fire, regional fire districts, public agencies, non-profits, businesses, and private landowners to implement protective measures and increase wildfire survivability, such as developing shaded fuel breaks. SCCFSC's work builds safer and stronger communities, providing education, project assistance, and recognition through the Firewise USA program.
Through their programs like the Chipping Program, Defensible Space Inspection, and Home Ignition Zone Assessment, SCCFSC helps residents prepare for wildfires by creating defensible spaces, hardening homes, and increasing awareness of fire safety. Their dedicated team of volunteers and project managers, including retired firefighters, work together to connect multiple agencies and implement fire prevention and protection projects. SCCFSC relies on grants and donations to carry out their mission of mobilizing the people of Santa Clara County to protect their homes, communities, and natural environment from the threat of wildfires.
