Wrightwood Fire Safe Council

The Wrightwood Fire Safe Council is a non-profit 501(c)(3) grassroots community-based organization that was founded in 2003. Our primary objective is to make Wrightwood less vulnerable to catastrophic wildfires. We partner with agencies to set the course for Wrightwood’s wildfire planning and are the liaison between those public agencies and the community. We also provide education and guidance to residents. Our annual Green Waste Recycling events help remove excess fuels from our community.  Our monthly meetings are open to the public.

Community Emergency Response Team

CERT members have taken a 21-hour training course that includes first aid, utility shut off, damage assessment of buildings, hazmat recognition, triage site set up, and a variety of other training sessions. All trainings are aimed toward preparing for an emergency event before it occurs.
