Desert Region Fire Safe is the proud recipient of a special grant from the California Fire Foundation to expand fire prevention and preparedness services across the Morongo Basin. This funding directly supports their new initiative, Project Fire Safe: Morongo Basin, bringing critical life-safety tools to some of our region's most vulnerable households.

With this grant, the Desert Region Fire Safe team will:

Install free smoke alarms in underserved and high-risk households

Conduct defensible space and home-hardening assessments

Offer hands-on fire extinguisher demonstrations

Provide bilingual fire safety ​& evacuation education to residents​

​Expand our digital outreach to more residents

These efforts are focused on seniors, low-income families, renters, mobile home residents, and others living in ​'​High and Very High' wildfire threat zones. By pairing in-home safety improvements with practical fire preparedness training, we are building household-level resilience across the communities we serve.
