Available winter 2025! The California Fire Safe Council’s inaugural Fire Safe Vendor List is a digital publication promoting businesses in the fields of fire safety, prevention, and/or mitigation. This first of its kind resource is a valuable tool for our community and will be distributed for FREE.
We’re connecting vendors throughout the state skilled in wildfire resiliency projects with wildfire resilience organizations. Showcase your products and services to the entire network of local Fire Safe Councils by listing with us! We want to learn how your unique business can help build a wildfire-safe state.
Market Reach
The Fire Safe Vendor List will be hosted on our website and promoted to thousands of individuals and organizations across the state via social media campaigns, email marketing, in-person conferences, and partner organizations’ sites.
Market reach includes nearly 10,000 impressions monthly across these channels. In addition, we will digitally promote a Virtual Expo in 2025 that provides even more exposure to the list, as well as the showcased vendors. (See $3,499 listing option below.)
Dollars to Spend
The California Fire Safe Council has awarded $25 million in grants to over 100 wildfire mitigation projects at local Fire Safe Councils, Fire Protection Districts, Resource Conservation Districts, HOAs, cities/towns, and other non-profits. Often, those projects require funding matches that double the funds available to nearly $50 million.
And it doesn’t stop there. Many of our grantees are securing additional funds from a variety of private and public sources.
