Living With Fire Program

Living With Fire is a wildfire preparedness and education initiative serving communities in Nevada and the Lake Tahoe region. Through practical guidance and public resources, it helps residents, neighborhoods, professionals, and local agencies understand wildfire risks and take steps to reduce them. Its materials cover evacuation planning, home hardening, defensible space, community safety, living with wildfire smoke, and recovery after a fire. Visitors can access publications, videos, a podcast, educational curricula, and helpful links, as well as information for finding local fire departments and districts.

The initiative also connects people with training, events, and community programs, including neighborhood ambassador opportunities and Nevada Wildfire Awareness Month. It shares information about emergency notification systems and explains how residents can register for alerts in their area. Living With Fire offers email updates and social media resources to keep people informed about preparedness guidance and upcoming activities. The website lists a University of Nevada, Reno email contact and notes that the initiative is funded collaboratively by sponsors.
