Community Risk Reduction
(Formerly Known As Fire Prevention)
​

The NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) defines Community Risk Reduction (CRR) as the process of identifying and prioritizing risks, selecting and implementing strategies, monitoring and evaluating activities, and involving community partners, all in an effort to better protect residents and firefighters (NFPA 1300). 

When this division was known as Fire Prevention, the main focus was prevention of fires and fire & life safety education.  Community Risk Reduction encompasses ALL potential risks to the citizens and strives to reduce those risks, thus making our community safer.
Frequently Asked Questions

I live in an apartment or condo. Can I have a grill on my condo or apartment patio or balcony?
No. Current fire prevention regulations prohibit the use of an electric grill, a hibachi, a gas or charcoal grill, or other similar devices used for cooking, heating, or any other purpose on any balcony, under any overhanging portion, or within 10 ft. (3m) of any structure or stored on a balcony.   Even though some of these devices do not have an open flame, anything put on them to cook can become an open flame.
I am a homeowner. Can I have a fire in my backyard?
Yes, as long as the fire meets the requirements of the Air Pollution Control District (APCD).  Here is a link to their webpage on Recreational Fires.
Can I have a fire in my backyard anytime of the year?
Most likely yes. However, If the wind is blowing at 15 mph or higher or if there is an Air Quality Alert you may not burn.  Please refer to the APCD Recreational Fires webpage.
