Osage Nation Wildland Fire Prevention FIRE-WISE Program

How it works

The Osage Nation Wildland Fire Prevention FIRE-WISE Program provides free wildfire risk reduction evaluations to residents of the Osage Nation Reservation. The official page says the program is no cost and open to all residents of the reservation, regardless of Osage or Native American status. During the evaluation, the team reviews the home’s vulnerabilities and provides a report identifying areas of improvement.

What the evaluation covers

The assessment looks at likely wildfire ignition and exposure pathways around the structure, including:

• firebrands or ember wash
• radiant and convection heat
• direct flame
• emergency vehicle access
• structure conditions
• vegetation around the home

What homeowners get

After the assessment, Osage Nation Wildland Fire provides a report identifying vulnerabilities and areas of improvement. The page does not state any cash payment, rebate, or grant amount; the benefit is the free service itself.

How to apply

The official page links to an online registration form for a wildfire risk reduction evaluation and also offers a downloadable Structure Evaluation Form.

Timing and deadlines

The page does not list an application deadline, funding limit, or waitlist. It describes the program as available to residents of the reservation and does not indicate that it is closed.
