Creating defensible space and “hardening” structures with non-flammable and ignition-resistant materials prepares your property for wildfire by reducing the risk of ignition from flames and embers. How you manage vegetation around your home, especially within the 100-foot “Home Ignition Zone”, can make your property and your community safer.  

For a limited time, Cascadia can offer funding for defensible space work in parts of Cashmere and Chelan.

Due to funding limitations, Cascadia is not currently able to offer funding for home hardening or defensible space projects in other areas of Chelan County. If you are outside of the areas mentioned above, and would like to be added to the waitlist, please fill out the form below to be contacted by a specialist as soon as funding is available.  

*Note: if you are in the upper Wenatchee valley area (Plain, Highway 2 corridor, Lake Wenatchee), you may qualify for funding through Lake Wenatchee Fire & Rescue. Please visit their website or contact Wildfire Risk Reduction Coordinator Kris King at 509-423-9684
