fire safety Essentials on the Farm

Wildfire mitigation on a farm looks very different from what it does in a suburban backyard. From massive fuel loads like unharvested crops to the complexities of livestock evacuation, the challenges are distinct. The updated Farm FireSmart platform addresses these head-on through three primary pillars:

• How-To Videos: Short, actionable visual guides that demonstrate everything from setting up sprinkler systems to maintaining "fuel-free" zones around critical infrastructure.
• Topical Articles: Deep dives into seasonal risks, such as managing holdover fires in the spring or implementing barn fire prevention strategies during the winter months.
• Downloadable Resources: Ready-to-use checklists, emergency contact templates, and site-mapping worksheets that producers can print and keep in the tractor or farm office.
