2025 was a very successful year for the Agoura Hills Fire Safe Council.
The following are just some of our accomplishments:
- As of December 2025, the Agoura Hills Fire Safe Council now has 11 active, officially recognized Firewise USA® Communities — designated by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).
- Approximately 75% of Agoura Hills residents now live within a Firewise Community.
- So far in 2025, Agoura Hills residents have reported $736,013 worth of Firewise Activities, both volunteer hours and dollars spent, towards wildfire mitigation in their communities. We hope to do over $1 million next year.
- We have formed a core team of 17 volunteers, including Board Members and Community Leaders.
- Our monthly outreach and educational campaign now reaches over 2,400 Agoura Hills residents.
- We partnered with the City of Agoura Hills to create a highly successful free ember-resistant vent-mesh program.
- We have distributed hundreds of Firewise Certificates to Agoura Hills Residents who are now receiving discounts on their home insurance.
- We have completed 11 Community Wildfire Assessments to evaluate community threats and developed 3-year action plans to mitigate them.
- With the help of our partner, the Resource Conservation District of the Santa Monica Mountains, hundreds of homes in Agoura Hills have received Free Home Ignition Zone evaluations to educate homeowners on home hardening and defensible space. Thanks to these evaluations, homeowners have made their homes and communities more resilient to wildfires.
- We have worked with the City of Agoura Hills and its consultant, Jensen Hughes, to create a Community Wildfire Risk Assessment. We are currently working with them to develop a Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP), for which we helped secure funding. This CWPP will help your Agoura Hills Fire Safe Council and its partners better understand wildfire threats and the solutions to mitigate them. It will also help us secure grants in the future.
- We have developed educational materials and held workshops to help residents learn how to stay safe before, during, and after wildfires.
- Our website has grown into an essential resource for our residents.
- We have attended over 12 public events to help achieve our goal of educating Agoura Hills residents about wildfire mitigation.
We are very proud of what we have achieved this year.
But it takes volunteers and donations to accomplish this.
With your help, imagine what we can achieve in 2026!
BUT WE CANNOT DO THIS WITHOUT YOUR HELP!
