2021 Firewise Recertification Complete
Firewise USA has recertified Dollar Point as a wildfire safe community. Congratulations to all!
Recertification is based on our community investment to reduce wildfire risk. Investments include volunteer hours, volume of combustible fuel removed and educational events and communication to members. Thanks to all for the hard work to remove combustible fuel, fire harden homes and create defensible space. Based on the data collected along the way our community invested 28 times the minimum required for certification. A standout performance!
