About Us

State FireSafe Council

Since its formation in April 1993, the Council has united its diverse membership to speak with one voice about fire safety. 

How the FireSafe Council Functions: The name “California Fire Safe Council” (CFSC) has been used for two very different organizations. The original use of the name, from 1993 through mid-2002, referred to a loose consortium of local community-based fire safe councils and other organizations that shared the mission of making California’s communities less vulnerable to catastrophic wildfire. It was funded by the state of California Resources Agency, Department of Conservation,  CAL FIRE. It was led by staff from the CAL FIRE Prevention Bureau.
