Firesafe Stillwater
Who is Firesafe Stillwater and what do we do?
We are a coalition of county representatives, agency officials, and local community members dedicated to building fire-adapted communities. Our mission is to empower residents and stakeholders with knowledge, tools, and resources to live safely with wildfire. Through proactive education, fuels mitigation, and coordinated response efforts, we foster a culture of preparedness, resilience, and collaboration before, during, and after wildfire events.

Fuel Mitigation work on your property
Fuel mitigation on your property involves reducing flammable vegetation to lower wildfire risk. This includes thinning trees, limbing trees 6-10 ft, removing flammable bushes such as junipers.
Cost share programs are available in Stillwater County. These programs can reimburse from 50-70% of the total cost, making it more affordable for you! For more information, please contact below
