Kentucky Firewise Community Grants are awarded for projects that reduce the wildfire risk and/or hazard in Kentucky's wildland/urban interface communities.
Priority will be given based on community at-risk level, the establishment of a local Firewise Council of Board, and the type of project submitted.
Program Objectives:
• Provide cost-share funds for fire mitigation and Firewise USA™ activities.
• Foster closer working relationships with fire departments, communities, counties, and interested organizations.
• Educate the public about the benefits of the fire mitigation and Firewise USA™ programs.
• Reduce the risk and effects of wildfire in wildland/urban interface areas.
• Complete a Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) for each community.
