Report Your Firewise Certification Data

Spring clean up is underway!  A website form its now available to help with reporting member Firewise certification data.  Please share your Firewise certification data with the Firewise committee by clicking on the link below.  

 Report Your Certification Data

Why?  Firewise USA certification requires us to provide information on the following:

  • Vegetation removal events and volume metrics
  • Risk reduction investment (volunteer hours and expense costs) to reduce fire fuel and hazards 

We Need Your Participation with Metrics
The Firewise committee tracks vegetation removal events (Dumpster Days) and the associated volume removed. However, we need your help with metrics on direct costs paid and any volunteer hours invested in reducing fire risk.  

See the details on the form page for what’s needed and share your fire risk reduction investment to help with our annual Firewise certification.  

Thank you and stay safe!

Firewise Donations – Need Your Help

The DPA board made the dumpster days, hydrant painting and Firewise signage possible by allocating funding toward these projects to reduce fire risk in Dollar Point. For 2021 the DPA board has increased the Firewise funding allocation 70%. However, the amount will not meet the projected expenses for this year. The Board has asked that we request member donations and continue to apply for funding grants to help offset the increasing costs.

The Firewise committee is asking for donations to help fund 2021 Firewise projects that reduce wildfire risk to your home and DPA facilities. Please consider a $20, $50 or other amount to help keep Dollar Point fire safe.

See the Firewise Donation PDF for instructions on how to donate.

Many thanks from the Firewise Committee!

Stay Safe!
