In Prepare Your Community, Resources

Fire Safe Sonoma has partnered with CAL FIRE to increase the number of Firewise communities in Sonoma County. The national Firewise USA® recognition program provides a collaborative framework to help neighbors in a geographic area get organized, find direction, and take action to increase the ignition resistance of their homes and community and to reduce wildfire risks at the local level.  Any community that meets a set of voluntary criteria on an annual basis and retains an “In Good Standing Status” may identify itself as being a Firewise® Site.

This webpage is a list of communities that have attained the goal of becoming a FireWise USA Community.

Community Summary: Alta Vista Heights HOA sits within the Montecito Unit of the Santa Rosa CWPP. The area has a moderate hazard severity rating. The HOA consists of 51 homeowners and includes three parcels of open space (total of 17.5 acres). The HOA has a board and a Fire Safety Committee which has secured $70K from Sonoma RCD and USDA EQIP for fuel reduction work in the open space. In spring 2024, the HOA had over 12 acres removed of French Broom, and 7 acres of vine treatment of English ivy. In July 2024, we had forest thinning and laddering of trees totaling over 2,000 trees, piling of fallen debris and chipping. The next phase will address hazardous trees. The Forest Management Plan, 2023 (Harold Appleton, Registered Forest Professional), describes scope of work needed for the open space.

Community Summary: Bennett Ridge, a community developed in the 1960’s of approximately 314 acres, is situated at the northern edge of Sonoma Valley between Santa Rosa and Kenwood/Glen Ellen in Sonoma County, CA. It has a single egress accessible by Bennett Valley Road. Bennett Ridge abuts the southwest border of Trione – Annadel State Park, which consists of 5,092 acres of state-maintained parkland. Prior to the Nuns Fire in 2017, there were 139 parcels and 129 homes, on one-to-seven-acre parcels in the Bennett Ridge community. The Nuns Fire destroyed 92 homes, damaged others, burned thousands of large trees and most significantly, resulted in the death of one of our residents. Currently there are 92 homes that are occupied with approximately additional 12-18 homes in some phase of permitting or construction. Bennett Ridge is located in the Wildland Urban Interface; therefore, all new construction meets WUI requirements. The homes that survived the 2017 Nun’s Fire were originally constructed primarily with wood siding.

Community Summary: The community of Hacienda, in Forestville, CA, is built in the canyons formed by Hobson Creek and its tributaries. Hobson Creek flows into the Russian River west of the Hacienda Bridge on River Road. Approximately 180 homes are sited on small parcels on the hillsides, while the bottomland is mixed woodlands with some underbrush. The surrounding ridges are mostly heavy forest with extensive undergrowth, divided into larger parcels. Most homes were built as summer cabins, and many of the original families still come here to enjoy the quiet and the beautiful beach on the Russian River. About half the homes are occupied year-round. Homes are generally modest, and level of upkeep varies. Most residents and home-owners are engaged with, or at least aware of, the Hacienda Improvement Association (HIA) and citizen efforts to reduce fire hazard and prepare for emergencies.

Community Summary: Knights Valley is an intercoastal valley located in northeastern Sonoma County encompassing approximately 32,000 acres.  The Valley is surrounded by mountains on each side (Napa Valley to the east and Alexander Valley and Chalk Hill to the west) and weather date indicates that the Valley is the warmest in the County.  During northeast wind conditions in the Valley can frequently experience the type of wind events that dramatically feed and expand wildfires (see the 2019 Kincaid Fire).  In addition to approximately 290 building units and over 500 residents, Knights Valley is home to over 2,000 acres of premium grapes planted by over 30 winery concerns.   There are also three large cattle ranches in the Valley that comprise over 1,500 acres. Together these business interests generate millions of dollars in revenue and employee hundreds of workers.   The continued threat of fire not only endangers the homes and residents of the Valley, but the community’s business interests and workforce.

Community Summary: The Mayacamas community in Glen Ellen, Sonoma County, is located in the interface between wildlands, rural lands and developed areas where fires have historically spread from the wildlands to residential areas at the Wildland Urban Interface. The community is in eastern-most Sonoma County, bordering Napa County. The towns of Glen Ellen and Eldridge (on Highway 12) are to the west,  Mount Veeder FSC in Napa is to the east, and Sugar Loaf Ridge State Park is to the North. The 55,000-acre Nuns Fire of 2017 burned much of Napa and Sonoma Counties, including the entire Mayacamas FSC area. Three other fires have burned in the area in recent decades. The vegetation is a mixture of oak woodlands, Douglas fir, chaparral, vineyards, and farms. The landform within the area covered by the MFSC generally slopes from over 2200 feet in elevation along its eastern border to 300 feet in elevation near the valley floor to the east. The western exposure receives abundant afternoon sun and efficiently heats the fuels. Strong westerly winds with hot, dry conditions are common.

Community Summary: Our community has been operating as an informal group for over 5 years, but as a part of Fire Safe Occidental since 2018. We have approximately 100 properties in our Neighborhood, and we have been one of the two or three most active groups. Many of us have done considerable work on our homes and acreage in the last 5 years, but as a Fire Wise Community, we hope to engage a larger percentage of our population. The description below shows how we plan to implement this goal; where we will focus our energies; and while addressing the concerns expressed in our CWPP, how we will be meeting the challenges we described as an integral part of Fire Safe Occidental. We hope to serve as a model for the other Neighborhoods in our group to become Fire Wise Communities as well.

Community Summary: The community is a rural area located northeast of the city of Santa Rosa. The topography is largely comprised of rolling hills and flat lands, with a smaller portion of properties containing steep hillsides. There are minor seasonal creeks that are tributaries to larger creeks in Santa Rosa and Mark West/Larkfield. Parcels face a variety of directions and have varying slopes. Most parcels are greater than 1 acre in size, private, contain single family homes, and have private utilities (wells/propane). A couple of communities within the Riebli Wallace South Community do have shared water systems. There are 290 dwelling units and approximately 725 residents. Winds of concern for fire are the Diablo northerly winds typically experienced in the fall. The area was burned in the 1964 Hanley Fire and in the 2017 Tubbs Fire. More than 95 percent of homes were destroyed in the Tubbs Fire and have been rebuilt to current Wildland-Urban Interface standards. There are two primary two lane roads entering into the area (Riebli and Wallace). Given the shared access and topography, the Riebli Wallace South Community and the neighboring Riebli North Community work in unison on many vegetation and fire prevention activities. In particular, both groups collaborate and share community forums and work initiatives. Leadership teams from both groups coordinate activities and planning as both groups benefit from fire hardening efforts in each community.

Community Summary: Shiloh Estates is a gated community with 64 homes located in an unincorporated region of north east Santa Rosa within the wildland urban interface. This proposed Firewise USA™ Site Community Wildfire Action Plan was developed through input received from Cyndi Foreman, Division Chief of the Sonoma County Fire District (SCFD) and members of her staff. We have worked with this group for over 4 years and conduct bi-annual inspections of our community to identify potential risks. A huge amount of work has been performed since the Tubbs fire. The success of these efforts paid off during the Kincade fire, as the SCFD set up a line of defense through in Shiloh Estates to successfully prevent the fire spreading into neighboring communities. The goal of the Plan is to develop a strategy to incrementally outreach, educate, and implement efforts to make our neighborhood and the surrounding area more fire resilient.

Community Summary: The Skyfarm II Homeowners Association (HOA) consists of fifty-seven (57) contiguous parcels in the far northeast edge of Santa Rosa, bordered by Mark West Springs Road and Cross Creek Road. Although contiguous, the arrangement of properties form an irregular horseshoe-shaped section of 186 acres consisting of three primary groupings: Unit 2A (25 properties), Unit 2B (21 properties), and Unit 2C (11 Properties). Parcel sizes range from approximately 0.25 to 61 acres, with most building sites of 2 acres each. To date twenty-one (21) parcels have been fully developed within the Skyfarm II HOA, the majority (14) of which are located within Unit 2B. This HOA was hit hard by the 2017 Tubbs wildfire, with all but one home completely destroyed. The 20 homes that have been rebuilt after the wildfire are in compliance with recent building codes, including fire resistant roofs and siding, double paned windows, closed soffits, fire vents, interior fire sprinklers, etc. and almost all of these developed parcels have been cleared of fire debris (dead trees and underbrush) and maintained in compliance with the heritage City Weed Abatement ordinance. Dead trees, French and Scotch brooms, and Bay tree regrowth have become increasingly dominant in approximately 25 of the remaining vacant lots.
