Firewise: Certified Community Designation

Thank you to all GCHNA neighbors
who keep your property as fire safe as possible!

GCHNA IS A RECOGNIZED FIRESAFE COMMUNITY

Help is needed yearly from residents for continued qualification.

Download the 2025 Certificate of Recognition from the National Firewise Program, (effective until 12/31/26) certifying that the Greater Cement Hill Neighborhood has completed the program’s annual requirements, and is a participating site in good standing. This certificate may be helpful or useful to give to your home insurance provider.

 

To continue to qualify as a Firewise Community, each year we are required to report on the ongoing work that residents do to reduce wildfire risks, while addressing the areas identified in the community wildfire assessment plan. We must must annually submit a renewal to maintain our “in good standing” status.

 

Our community’s effort to reduce wildfire risk each calendar year is reflected in the risk reduction investment of all the hours worked and dollars spent on our properties

 

For our certificate renewal in 2025, 140 households submitted forms on behalf of our neighborhood. All together we reported $1,233,9191 in cash expenditures. Total time spent was 18,412 hours!

 

This contribution demonstrates the strong commitment of our community to create defensible space and reduce the threat of wildfire.
