National Fire Plan Funding For Community Protection In California
In California, agencies have pooled their National
Fire Plan funding into
a one-stop shop to help simplify the process of finding and applying for
grants which improve California 's community wildfire preparedness. This
one-stop shop is located on the internet and hosted by the California
Fire Safe Council (FSC). The FSC hosts this web application
site in cooperation with its fellow members of the California Fire Alliance.

CAL FIRE is offering a fuels reduction program funded by Proposition 40, the California Clean Water, Clean Air, Safe Neighborhood Parks, and Coastal Protection Act of 2002. The goal of the CAL FIRE Proposition 40 Fuels Reduction Program is to reduce wildland fuel loadings that pose a threat to watershed resources and water quality. Funding is available for fuel breaks and other related fuel treatment projects that reduce the threat of fire to watershed resources. The 2008/2009 fiscal year is the last year projects may be funded under this program.
