IF YOU LIVE, WORK AND PLAY IN THE AG SECTOR, FARM FIRESMART IS BUILT FOR YOU
Accessible, Ag-Focused Fire Safety Info, Resources and Supports
There are so many ways a fire can start on the farm, from electrical failures and lightning strikes to carelessly-handled chemicals, self-combusting hay and rekindled holdover fires.
Established fire safety programs are vital to reducing these risks and preventing devastating and costly fires. Farm FireSmart is just such a program.
Get Set for Spring
By integrating some basic FireSmart principles into regular farming and ranching practices, you can reduce the potential threat of a wildfire to start, as well as limit the impact of a wildfire that threatens your property.
Dry grass, grain fields, hay fields and pastureland:
Reduce dry grass and stubble to prevent a fire from escaping from your property and prevent a wildfire from coming into your yard.
Fence lines and ditches:
Unmanaged fence lines and ditches can carry intense and rapidly spreading fires into your yard, fields and building sites.
Feed storage:
No matter how you store bales, once they ignite, the fire spreads quickly and can be difficult to control or extinguish.
