You can view the current Certificate of Recognition.
When viewing our Certificate, please note 2025 (in large font at the top of the certificate) is the year we submitted our recent application for renewal. In tiny letters at the bottom of the certificate you will see that we are “… in good standing throughout the 2026 calendar year.”
Every year we are required to submit estimates of the work and money we spent in pursuit of wildfire preparedness to retain our Firewise recognition.
Our 6B and Friends community was first recognized as a Firewise Community in April 2020.

Please keep track of the hours and money you spend on wildfire preparedness throughout the year, every year. Estimations are fine. No receipts are required.
Here is a form to help record (and remember) hours, expenses and amount of yard waste removed to make your home and property more fire ready:

For examples of work and expenses that can be counted:
Firewise Time & Expense Investment Examples
A Firewise Committee member will add up everyone’s work hours and dollars spent and submit the sums to the National Fire Protection Association to qualify for another year of Firewise certification.
We will advise where to send your completed forms in a newsletter via email. Forms are due October 31st every year.
