Hidden Hills Firewise is a collaborative initiative that partners with federal, state, and local agencies to reduce wildfire risk in our community. Its mission is to safeguard lives and property in Hidden Hills through resident education, fuel mitigation, and hands-on home resiliency projects.

While the primary goal is wildfire prevention, the program also aims to help homeowners lower insurance costs and improve policy access amid California’s rising insurance rates.

Key Firewise Initiatives Include:

• Strengthening home resiliency against wildfire
• Helping reduce homeowner insurance costs
• Providing free Home Ignition Zone (HIZ) assessments
• Educating residents on defensible space and home hardening
• Reducing wildfire fuel in local open spaces
• Building an engaged Firewise community in Hidden Hills
