Fire Prevention Mitigation & Education




Washington State Fire Adapted Communities Learning Network


The Washington Fire Adapted Communities Learning Network (WAFAC),  funded by the Bureau of Land Management,  facilitates learning and provides a means to invest resources in communities around Washington that are working to better live with wildfire. The Network provides member communities with resources to engage with other WAFAC participants, thereby increasing local capacity, and elevating our collective ability to adapt communities’ relationships to the complex fire issues we face.
