How it works

Sequim’s official wildfire-preparedness page explains steps homeowners can take to reduce wildfire risk around a house. It points residents to defensible-space guidance and Firewise materials.

What the guidance covers

Choose fire-resistant building materials
Limit flammable vegetation in home ignition zones
Trim branches overhanging the home, porch, and deck
Prune large trees up to 6 to 10 feet from the ground, depending on tree height
Remove plants containing resins, oils, and waxes
Use stone instead of flammable mulch in the Immediate Zone
Keep the landscape in good condition

What it is not

The page does not announce a grant, rebate, loan, or direct cost-share payment
It is a city education and preparedness page, not a homeowner cash-assistance program
