Take a look at what you can expect to take with you in your pack for work as a wildland firefighter.

Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPPs) are based on this understanding: they put the task of wildfire risk reduction in local hands.

If a fire strikes at your home, will you have a fire extinguisher handy? More importantly, will you know how to use it?

Firefighters can't always arrive on the scene before disaster strikes, so it's crucial that residents have the tools they need to protect their homes from the flames.

National Wildfire Community Preparedness Day — which lands on May 5 in 2018 — was created with this in mind, and there’s no better time to consider a few ways to protect yourself and your community.

When wildfires sweep through a community, we tend to move a bit faster in picking up the pieces. It’s natural for people to want to rebuild quickly to restore their daily lives.

We featured 10 submitted photos in our 2018 Volume 1 Catalog. Check out the incredible winners here.
