Applications Now Open
for 2026 Release!

We’ve put together a robust Promotional Toolkit to streamline your marketing efforts. The Toolkit includes the following:

• Graphics, Logos & Website Badges
• Brand Guidelines
• Email Content
• Social Content: Graphics, Captions, & Hashtags

You will receive a link to the online toolkit once your business’s application has been accepted.

Please note a few important points about promotion:

• You are encouraged to use the Fire Safe Business Directory logo and badges, but use of the organizational CFSF logo is not allowed at this time.
• Please always hyperlink the Fire Safe Vendor List logo and reference the publication download page on our website here: https://cafiresafecouncil.org/2025-fire-safe-vendor-list/.
• When referring to your participation in the Business Directory, please refrain from using language like “approved,” “certified,” or “vetted.” Instead, use the following: “[Your business name] is a proud participant of the 2025 Fire Safe Business Directory, a program of the California Fire Safe Council.]”

Currently, the best way to know is by asking your leads and clients directly. We recommend setting up a question on your website’s online forms (e.g. “How did you hear about us?”), as well as instructing your salespeople to routinely ask when fielding inquiries.

We would love to hear your metrics! Please contact Development Coordinator, Eileen Mello, to share data points. She can be reached at (279) 599-1052 or emello@cafiresafecouncil.org.

We do not provide contact information for each individual Fire Safe Council, but the information is often publicly available on internet search engines. We can, however, provide you with a contact list for the Wildfire County Coordinators.

We will only ever provide this information for individuals who have consented to receive direct email from vendors.

Like all businesses, CFSC needs to cover its programmatic expenses. Although we are a nonprofit, we must charge for the list in order to cover the cost of its production.

The California Fire Safe Council does not test, certify, nor endorse the products or services of vendors presented in the Fire Safe Business Directory.  Users of the list must do their own diligence when selecting a business for their project. Vendors, like you, meet basic business requirements such as:

• Proof of liability and workers’ comp insurances
• Current business license
• USDA certification regarding debarment and suspension

On the other hand, Cal Fire’s WUI Listed Products Handbook, is a list of reviewed and verified products that comply with Chapter 7A of the California Building Code. This list also only includes building materials such as decking, windows, doors, vents, and treated lumber.
