Wild Fire Assesment Program Inpection

Home Inspection Wildland Fire Assessment Program Wildland-Fire-Assessment-ProgramThe Wildland Fire Assessment Program (WFAP) is a joint effort by the U.S. Forest Service and the NVFC to provide volunteer firefighters and non-operational personnel, such as Fire Corps members, with training on how to properly conduct assessments for homes located in the wildland-urban interface (WUI). This is the first program targeted to volunteers that specifically prepares them to evaluate a home and provide residents with recommendations to protect their property from wildfires in order to make their community more fire adapted. Through this program, the NVFC offers the following resources. In-Person Training: The classroom-only option covers understanding the WUI problem, identifying defensible space zones, review and discuss forms for evaluating homes, and available resources. The classroom plus hands-on component builds on this instruction and includes an on-site, mock evaluation where participants assess a home in the community to apply what they’ve learned.
