Who We Are
Established in 2019, the Green Valley Fire Safe Council was formed to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires through public education, fuel reduction strategies, and mobilizing residents to create defensible zones and harden their homes.
We are dedicated to ensuring safety across the rural area of Green Valley and parts of Suisun Valley. GVFSC is a grass-roots collaborative comprised of residents, Cordelia Fire, and CAL FIRE, working to enhance wildfire survivability by raising awareness, providing public education, and sharing tools and resources.
