No cash amount stated; homeowner guidance and community Firewise support
Rhode Island DEM’s Forest Fire Program gives homeowners wildfire-prevention guidance and Firewise-related help at no charge. The official page says homeowners can assess their property to reduce wildfire spread and that communities can work with DEM staff to plan fuel reduction and become Firewise USA sites.
Program details
How it works
The Rhode Island DEM Forest Fire Program says it serves Rhode Islanders through prevention, planning, and response for wildland fires. For homeowners, the page provides wildfire-preparedness guidance rather than a cash grant or rebate.
What the program offers
- Homeowner information on assessing homes and property to reduce the risk of wildfire spreading to homes and buildings.
- Community support to plan and implement fuel reduction.
- Help for communities that want to become a Firewise® USA site.
- The page also notes that DEM provides wildfire training to volunteer fire departments when requested and administers a fire hose loan program, but those are not homeowner benefits.
Important limitations
This is not a homeowner cash-assistance program. The official page describes guidance, planning support, and community-level Firewise assistance, but it does not list a homeowner grant, rebate, or tax incentive.
