Community Wildfire Protection Plan

What is a community wildfire protection plan (Cwpp)?

CWPPs are collaborative, community-driven frameworks that outline local priorities for wildfire risk mitigation. They identify and prioritize hazardous fuels reduction treatment for communities, and recommend measures to reduce structural ignitability and addresses wildfire response, hazard mitigation, community preparedness, and other wildfire issues. ​

2024 Truckee Fire CWPP Update

Truckee Fire, in collaboration with SWCA Environmental Consultants, Vibrant Planet’s Land Tender decision support tool, and a diverse and representative project team has been working to update the Community Wildfire Protection Plan.

The 2024 Truckee Fire CWPP is a collaborative effort to enhance the safety and resilience of our community from uncharacteristic wildfires. This plan will develop an implementable and prioritized plan for risk-reduction activities and monitoring that promotes wildfire resilience in Truckee while working with partners and the community alike.

We invite all community members (full and part-time residents, property owners, individuals in the workforce) to review the draft CWPP and accompanying Story Map.
