Four programs, one standard of evidence
Each program publishes original research, primary documents, and practical materials. What they share is a method: obtain the record, publish what it shows, and say where it stops.
Program areas
Community Safety & Preparedness
Practical, local, and actionable: defensible space, evacuation readiness, and the tools neighborhoods use before a fire starts.
Explore Community Safety & PreparednessTruth & Accountability
Investigations into delayed response, incentive structures, and the strategies chosen when a fire starts.

Forest management grounded in science and Indigenous knowledge: cultural burning, ecological thinning, habitat restoration.

What we are asking for
Four public priorities
Stop "Let Burn" Fires
End managed wildfire tactics that allow ignitions to grow under the banner of ecological benefit.
First, Put Out The Fire!
Extinguish wildfires immediately, then build communities that can withstand the next ignition.
Remove Hazardous Fuels
Clear the fuel buildup left by previous fires before it becomes the next fire's accelerant.
Restore Active Management
Return the forest management practices that measurably reduce wildfire risk on public land.
