Fire Mitigation Support in Glide
Umpqua FLASH Assistance Program
Living with dense forest and flammable vegetation around your home poses a serious wildfire risk. In the event of a fire, these combustible materials act as fuel and can quickly turn a small fire into a major threat, putting your property in danger.
To safeguard against this hazard, it’s essential to clear brush and create a buffer zone to keep flames at a safe distance.
The Umpqua Fire-adapted Landscapes and Safe Homes (FLASH) assistance program is designed to help Douglas County homeowners create defensible space around their homes and property.
Umpqua FLASH serves the community by offering:
- Comprehensive home site visits to check for fire risks and teach you about protecting your property from wildfires using Home Ignition Zone (HIZ) education.
- Tree service and vegetation clearing to create a defensible space around your home
- Community clean-up days where community members volunteer to help with vegetation removal on private or public properties.
- Fire prevention and preparedness community educational workshops.
