The National Fire Protection Association in the United States, has a Firewise Communities program that encourages local solutions for wildfire safety by involving homeowners, community leaders, planners, developers, firefighters, and others in the effort to protect people and property from wildfire risks.

As of June 2011, there are over 700 sites in 40 states in the U.S. that are recognized Firewise Communities.
