Applications are being taken through February 26 for grant applications aimed at helping fire departments and individuals help communities become wildfire ready as part of the 8th annual Wildfire Community Preparedness Day on May 1. Last year, more than 58,000 fires burned 10 million acres across the United States. Wildfires can cost the U.S. up to an estimated $285 billion per year in losses.
Financial support from State Farm will once again enable the NFPA to provide 150 applicants with $500 awards to complete a wildfire risk reduction project. Project applications can be submitted through Feb. 26, 2021. Those interested can apply for the grant at https://webportalapp.com/appform/login/wildfireprepday2021
