Marin County has an active fire mitigation community. There are nearly 80 Firewise communities, and many Fire Safe Councils. Public funding and grants are available for homeowners who are working towards wildfire mitigated properties.
Marin County is a Contract County and the Marin County Fire Department protects both LRA and SRA under a contract with CAL FIRE. Much of the northern portion of the county is FRA where the Los Padres National Forest responds to wildfires. Point Reyes National Seashore is under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service.
