The California Wildfire Mitigation Program (CWMP) was created as part of the State of California’s effort to strengthen community-wide resilience against wildfires. The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) has partnered with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) to develop a state home hardening initiative to retrofit, harden, and create defensible space for homes at high risk to wildfires.

The SCFSC has issued a  Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ)  to secure multiple qualified vendors to harden homes against the risk of wildfire losses through ignition resistant retrofit and defensible space measures. The project will focus on retrofitting homes with fire-resistant materials and creating defensible space at privately owned residences in the Whitmore, Oak Run, and Lakehead project areas within Shasta County.
