We are now an official Firewise community!  Click Here to download the certificate.  This will (hopefully) allow you to get a discount on your homeowner's insurance premium.  Please remember to continue to record your efforts to make our neighborhood more fire-safe (please record your number of hours worked and/or dollars spent).  This will help us renew our Firewise status in the future.
