The Academic Hill Firewise Community is in southeast Kensington, near the Wildland Urban Interface with Tilden Park.
We established our Firewise Community to enhance wildfire resilience on our properties, ensure safe access for first responders in the event of a wildfire, and work with other Firewise groups along the ridge to improve evacuation.

This 15' x 50' slope was overgrown with vegetation, including a huge, hazardous juniper hedge. Flames would threaten both the home and the cars evacuating on Arlington Avenue. It's now been cleared and replanted with less fire-prone plants.
Household Activity Reports ensure Firewise Recognition is renewed annually. They also help shape Kensington's wildfire programs.
Participating households track and report their risk reduction activities online or via email. Contact your organizers for details.
Organizers compile neighborhood numbers and report them to Firewise USA each year. Residents' personal information is never shared.
