Volunteer Faire Participant: The Santa Clara County FireSafe Council


The Santa Clara County FireSafe Council is a non-profit organization whose mission is to mobilize the people of Santa Clara County to protect their homes, community and environment from wildfires.

We are seeking volunteers to participate in Community Outreach and Education Programs in the South County Area. Our major focus is teaching youth and adults the importance of Wildfire Prevention. Volunteer opportunities include staffing our informational table at local events and participating in Smokey Bear Story Time at local elementary schools and libraries as either Smokey’s helper or as Smokey himself.

We also need help with Hazardous Fuel Reduction Chipping Programs in the Wildland Urban Interface areas surrounding Morgan Hill, San Martin, and Gilroy. These programs help homeowners to create defensible space around their properties to prevent losses in the case of a wildfire.

We are also looking for interested individuals to help start a local South County FireSafe Council that will cater to the needs of the fire prone communities in Morgan Hill, San Martin and Gilroy.
