Humboldt County, CA – The County of Humboldt, under the guidance of the Humboldt County Fire Safe Council (HCFSC), is offering private landowners the opportunity to participate in the Fire-adapted Landscapes and Safe Homes (FLASH) cost-share program. Grant funding for this program is provided by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) as part of the California Climate Investments Program. FLASH is intended to incentivize landowners to carry out wildfire preparedness actions recommended in the Humboldt County Community Wildfire Protection Plan. Funding and technical assistance is available to landowners seeking to effectively create defensible space around their homes and reduce hazardous fuels (flammable vegetation) along access routes and in strategic locations on their property. The County is in the process of contracting with FLASH Technicians who should be ready to start scheduling site visits in late January/early February. All work associated with the FLASH program must be complete before January 2024.
