TriCounty FireSafe Working Group

TCFSWG is a local non-profit with a mission to engage property owners on how to co-exist with and survive wildfire. Our programs and activities are designed to help property owners reduce their fire risks and to live more safely in a wildfire environment. These programs include outreach & education, private property wildfire risk assessments, and risk reduction activities targeting hazardous fuels removal and defensible space improvements on private lands and structures that are at risk to the impacts of wildfire. The organization consists of a broad spectrum of stakeholders including federal and state land managers and wildfire officials, county, and city government as well as private citizens and contractors.

Tri-County Firesafe Working Group (TCFSWG) works to assist private property owners in understanding and reducing their risks from wildfire. We promote and support wildland fire mitigation, community preparation and protection, and public outreach and education in Broadwater, Jefferson and L&C counties. We have developed a Fire Wise Demonstration Garden at the MT City VFD and are recruiting volunteers to assist in light maintenance, weeding, and planting during the spring, summer and fall.
