SACRAMENTO REGION, CA (MPG) - Assemblymember Heather Hadwick (R-Alturas) is happy to share Assembly District 1 has received $12,704,514.61 in grants from the CAL FIRE California Investments (CCI) Program.

“I want to extend my deepest thanks to the CAL FIRE California Investments Program for investing in our District. Unfortunately, we know wildfires all too well. But, we also know mitigation is essential for the survival of our communities. Break projects, treatment programs, and fuel reductions are often the difference between life and death in times of disaster. I am so grateful CAL FIRE has granted us over $12 million to prevent wildfires before they strike,” said Assemblywoman Hadwick. 

In total, CAL FIRE is awarding more than $62.6 million in funding for 84 local wildfire prevention projects across California, including 41 projects in low-income and disadvantaged communities.

CAL FIRE's Wildfire Prevention Grants Program provides funding for projects and activities that focus on increasing the protection of people, structures, and communities. Over the last six years, CAL FIRE has awarded more than $566 million in Wildfire Prevention Grants to over 575 projects across the State. This includes hazardous fuels reduction and wildfire prevention planning and education, with an emphasis on improving public health and safety while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. These projects support the goals and objectives of California's Wildfire and Forest Resilience Action Plan.
