Linwood Heights, like many neighborhoods in Flagstaff, is located in what is known as the Wildland-Urban Interface, where the threat of wildfire is very real.  The Coconino County Board of Supervisors has recognized that the threat of catastrophic wildfire represents the #1 health and safety issue for Coconino County.  There are actions which can be taken to reduce this risk, but they must be taken before the smell of smoke is in the air.
 
Linwood Heights is a nationally recognized Firewise USA®  program participant.  Firewise USA® is a national program to encourage people to build and maintain homes and properties that will survive destructive wildfire.  It provides recognition to those individuals and communities who have met the criteria and have taken the recommended actions.  Firewise preparation saves lives, protects homes and properties, and preserves the surrounding natural resources. 
 
For Linwood Heights to be a fire-resistant community, every property owner should accept responsibility for making their property fire resistant.  All of us working together can make the community safe.  Following are a number of resources to help you get started.
